To firework, or not to firework, that is the question. I want to go, but will I, in the end, or just watch on TV? Hmm....
Some ar**h*** was setting off firecrackers in the alley at 3 a.m., bless him....
I think I'm going to be off in a bit to Venice Beach, as it would seem to be the perfect people-watching day, and Venice is the place to do it. Besides, it's supposed to be pushing 100 degrees, and a little sea breeze would be welcome.
I always firework, if I can get the opportunity. Fireworks are rare enough around here.
Three a.m.? Ill-advised! I'm sure there's a circle of hell for that particular crime.
Enjoy the beach and the beautiful bodies there - not to mention the beautiful ocean. Now, you have a *really* large body of water to stare at for your spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being!
Saw lightning again tonight, refracted in the clouds at the southern horizon. Unpredictable is it.
Heh. Glad I gave you a smile. Think of that, whenever you're stuck listening to someone spouting off about America's destiny to rule the planet, eh?
Two former students of Princeton University came up with a George W. Bush "State of the Union Address" drinking game, two years ago, for his first such address. They were then students, and later graduated. This was not endorsed by Princeton (it was quickly pointed out, when it got publicity this past January), but there's a website dedicated to it now. You take a drink if Bush says this or says that, and if he trips on his tongue and says something backwards like the phrase above, you finish your glass and pour another... also, if he were to say "Don't mess with Texas," you finish your drink, break the bottle over your head, and dance a jig. Don't think anyonw had to do that, this time... but it may happen next time, depending how big the guy's ego gets--!
Thank you! I didn't see any fireworks today. Okay, I saw some lightning, vastly refracted in the low clouds, after the thunderstorm had passed, as I loitered outside work spending my break attempting to loosen the grip of ennui from my soul. Lightning's as cool as fireworks are, no?
John Phillip Sousa is way cool too. Signing off, from the land of the home and the free of the brave....
