Congratulations on your pending nuptials...

I haven't heard any fireworks here yet...but I saw on Fox early today that Travis County had some big fires..(I think that is Austin, I am not sure)...

I had to go to the liquor store this morning...and I had heard that a fire was near the one I usually go to...but I was shocked when I got there...and the grass was totally black all the way up the their parking lot and building..all the way around it.

Those people must have just stood there with about a dozen hoses raining down on that store to keep it from being burned.

Thanks, we haven't set a date yet and really aren't in any big hurry to do so. It's not as if we're exactly spring chickens. ;^)

When I pinged you this morning about the fireworks starting around 6:30 a.m. I never heard any sirens of police racing to check it out. The firecrackers lasted about an hour and a half, since then I've not heard one pop and I've got the window in the study cracked a bit because the house got a bit warm during the afternoon so I'd have heard them if they were being popped.

We'll see how it goes around midnight. Of course, it could very well be the police are patrolling residential streets and nipping it in the bud. (One of the nice things living in a small town of 4,500 is it doesn't take long for the cops to make their rounds.)
