The fourth of July.

I only hope we live up to the ideals it represents.

Oh, wait. That's not all I hope. I also hope the various people around me firing off bottle rockets and roman candles don't burn anything too important.

Heh. LOTS of fireworks visible from my windows (including a real event, somewhere in Wilsonville proper). Very pretty, very very pretty.

Very loud. I'm not sure when I'll go to bed. I'm quite sure, if I go now, I will not be sleeping well.... *G*
