4th of July 2010 ... Plans?

Fireworks were most excellent. It's a little hot and sticky and buggy here. I should probably shower all that deet off before I go to bed. I heard the local rental canoes were all out before midday and the waiting line was way long. Good job we went to the pool instead. Perfect place to de-sticky. Someone kept trying to give me work to do for 8am tomorrow, but I told her where to stick it.

Wait, what are we celebrating again?

...I found it amusing that everyone said "Happy 4th" rather than "happy independance day".

As Brits, we don't get an independance day to celebrate -we were too barbaric and no-one wanted us that badly -even the Romans gave up before we were fully conquered!

We get Guy Fawkes night, but it's in rainy November ....although at least you don't have to wait very long for the dark necessary to really enjoy fireworks. I can't believe how many people set them off in the daylight!

BTW all but the lamest fireworks are illegal here, but we're close to Ohio, so those intent on a good display just pop over the norder....
