Well, you've read the notes, the notes were noisy but legal, and now it is time for you to post until the noisy, illegal cows come home.

And now - Dino at the piano.

As annoying the fireworks are, they actually don't really bother me too much. And both my cats seemed to not be affected by the noise, either. My niece, however, has four cats and five chickens who are all bothered by the noise. And she has a condition called hyperacusis, where loud noises are physically painful. She REALLY hates the fireworks on the 4th of July and New Year's Eve.

Oh, my goodness! Los Angeles fireworks explosion: Man had 16 tons of fireworks at home, including devices that later blew up and injured 17!

I don't have to go to work today, because it's the observed holiday. Fine with me.

Instead, I'm going to my sister's, and my mom's coming over too, and we're going to play Scrabble...not Phase 10! I KNOW that my mom will win. That's her game.

Have a good day, all!

I hope they put this moron away for a very long time.

And we just had a slight earthquake.

2.0. And where was it centered? Three blocks from here.

Around 9:45, just as I was turning down the bedding, we had a brief spate of fireworks, not more than fifteen minutes. I slept rather well.

We all survived the night. After the fire crew left, I kept a close eye on the cats because I was unable to judge if they were affected by the gas leakage or not. I think we're lucky the AC was running, along with two oscillating fans or we might have been affected hours earlier. I never thought the problem was the stove because I hadn't used it all day. After the breakfast cleanup, the only time I touched the stove was when I supported myself as I climbed that ladder and when I set a grocery delivery on its top to unpack it around 3:00.

DR singdaw, I could hear other firemen moving around the building, but I only saw the one who came to my door. I can tell you, from the times they used to stop in en masse at Barnes & Noble, that the crew at the 83rd Street firehouse is quite a handsome one. The fireman who came to my apartment was about 6'3" or so, and his physique looked pretty good, given that he was dressed in heavy fire gear. He was blond, and looked like a cross between Brad Pitt and Robert Redford.

I had too much stress yesterday, so I plan to do little as possible today.

Last night, we ended up watching the 1980 Glyndebourne production of Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio, my least favorite of the Mozart Big Five operas. The music is glorious, but the story's a slog, and for a comic opera, I found it almost completely humorless. The designs and costumes were beautiful, and the five principal singers were excellent. The romantic leads were the really beautiful British soprano Valerie Masterson, who has great stage presence, good coloratura, and sings most of the role in the stratosphere, and a handsome Welsh lyric tenor, Ryland Davies. The comic (huh?) couple were British lyric soprano Lillian Watson, whom I met in 2001 recording McGlinn's Babes In Toyland and who appears in the Domingo film of Carmen as either Frasquita or Mercedes, and American tenor James Hoback, whom I praised for his appearance in the title role of Albert Herring. The fifth singer was the wonderful bass Willard White, whom I first heard on the Cleveland Orchestra recording of Porgy and Bess.

I phoned 911 at the end of Act One, but I had no urge to continue after the firemen left. I played on the computer until I went to bed.

T.O.D.

We stayed home and watched television.
Gave our dog a pill, so he would not freak-out over the fireworks.

A friend is coming over to pick up potted plants I don’t want to die after I leave for Louisville next week.

John G. · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2021, 05:32:39 AM »

Hard to believe I leave in a week.

I meed to clean house today. Ugh.

After hearing DR ELMORE's description, I need to call the fire department.

The official fireworks started about 9:50 p.m. I could see a lot of them through the trees.... there were other fireworks also going off.....

It was loud for awhile. The windows were closed and Birdy Barnum didn't seem too rattled by the noise. I came in before the BIG ending and covered him up....

Still a few bangs and whistles after midnight.....but not many.

Mostly yesterday I worked on the computer and sent out messages trying to get someone to join our happy band of brothers..... Hey, folks, if you don't want to do it.....just say NO and let me move on. Don't leave me hanging for days.....

I'm afraid I'll end up with two.....or take someone I really don't want to work with when someone else says YES after ignoring my message for a week.

According the US POST OFFICE site - there is NO mail today.

Good morning, friends.

The neighborhood fireworks scene last night here wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** July 05, 2021, 06:27:47 AM »

But it still amazes me how many people are so inconsiderate of anyone but themselves.

Good morning to everyone I hope you had a great holiday weekend

Love the new photo that headlines your daily blog. But when you go back in the archives it shows the old photo. Including today’s which is weird.

Went to a dinner party last night with a group of friends. There were no fireworks in the area. I wonder if there was a ban against them
