Ugh...July 5th rates right up there with December 26 for post-cool holiday "Iwishididn'thavetogointowork'-iveness.
Had a very nice gathering with old friends and acquaintances last evening. I went to the same place as I have the past few years. Homemade, secret-recipe salsa and 2 different pork tenderloins were among the available refreshments. The weather turned quite soggy just after dinner, with a steady rain that moved in and rained out the local fireworks display we always attend. Happily, the show will go on tonight so the party will resume this evening, with clear skies forecast. The rain did cease just in time for our own little fireworks show. I did get my yearly snout-full of acrid pyrotechnic smoke, which made me happy!
Speaking of fireworks, the P-D published a very funny picture recently. A gentleman in a fireworks tent was pictured proudly cradling an 800-shot small explosive labeled "Maximum Retaliation." The look on his face was hysterical! Also noted in the caption was his $530 purchase of pyrotechnics.

our fireworks were not very inspiring to say the least even though we were sporting some new ones. but a short display marred by mmmmmany mosqiutoes. we would gladly have taken your rain. it's dry as a desert around here.
