Fireworks

We’ve had pouring rain for about 40 days and 40 nights around here and most towns have axed their Fourth of July fireworks for the second year in a row. Well, postponed them at least, maybe not cancelled completely. You know what I mean.

I thought I’d make up for it with this Independence Day memory of Boston fireworks from 2006. Mostly because these pics are among the oldest on my Flickr account and therefore super easy to find. It’s the thought that counts though, right? I’m just trying to capture the spirit of the thing, you know*?

Festive, eh? Hooray for the USA! Ooooo. Ahhhhh.

*Yes, thats a reference to the hockey reporter in the movie Slapshot. I should watch that movie again soon.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July, everyone. Happy birthday to the USA.

Now can we remove the filibuster, pass the voting rights act, add Washington, DC and Puerto Rico as states, fix the damage done to the Supreme Court, and prosecute the fascists responsible for the January 6th assault on the Capital?

What was the point of winning the Senate and the White House if we were just going to shove our heads up our asses and accomplish nothing?

Quittin’ Time

Everyone psyched for the big fourth of July weekend? I am! I just punched out of work a few minutes ago and I could use a good long weekend.

Of course the forecast calls for frosty cold and constant rain and I have to spend 24 hours at my mother’s house instead of with Jen and Harry, but it’s still a long weekend and I am going to make the most of it, damn it!

Pour one out for America!
