Comments for Independence Day
Independence Day: 07/04/07
July 4th always marks the turning point in the year for me. As a child, July 4th meant it was less than a month until my brother's birthday and therefore almost my birthday too (we're both August babies). After our birthdays came the start of school and then the holidays: Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve.
This year we had Derrick over for a barbecue. We had hamburgers and hot dogs, corn on the cob, salad and watermelon. It was all lovely. Throughout the dinner, Harriet flirted with Derrick.
Sean wanted to know why we didn't go to see any fireworks and we explained that Harriet might have gotten scared by the noise (Sean certainly did at this age). He hopes we can go next year.
It's also the first day of a heat wave and one of the hottest days we've had since last year. With the lack of spring rain we're ripe for an intense fire season. Even with fireworks being illegal in our county (save for two cities), there are still idiots shooting the damn things off. We'll have a few more nights to listen to people shooting off these things and then we'll be free from the noise and potential fire hazard for another year.
