Good thread!

I grilled some food with friends and stuff, and then lit off a bunch of reports; they sky about 200' and display a nice shower of colors! Plus as I sit here, I can listen to the race cars over at the DIS, and also listened to the fireworks that they set off :)

We went to a local baseball game last night (bottom of the 9th squeaker) that was followed by beautiful fireworks directly above our heads. Today, we went to a small neighboring town for the most politically-incorrect parade in Minnesota, followed by another ballgame, at which we ate popcorn, drank sodas, and ate barbecued porkburger sandwiches complete with sauerkraut (don't knock it till you've tried it). Got sunburned and weary. Didn't everybody?
