4th of July - In Review

I'm still recovering from injuries sustained over the long holiday weekend. My back and legs are sore from firework duty, but it was totally worth it. This, my thirtieth Independence Day overall, was a great one. This year, lots of good food and an awesome display of aerial pyrotechnics made for a night to remember. Customary grilling fare was served up alongside saucy summertime side dishes making for a delicious prelude to the fireworks. Luckily the rain that had drizzled throughout the day cleared up leaving behind cloudy skies and a cool and comfortable evening. As everybody looked on I diligently lit up the night sky with roman candles and mortar rounds. I have to say, some of the mortars were just fantastic... ridiculously large explosions that really made you feel the BOOM. Even though two of our grand finale rockets were duds everything turned out spectacular. We ended the night with cake and strawberries.

I'm back at work now. No fireworks here.
