So, this fourth of july, I decided to forgoe the usual trip down to *mumble* for fireworks, and instead hang out at home. This seemed to be an especially wise idea when it started pouring down rain at about 4:00 this afternoon.
I live in a highrise, on the eleventh floor. While I didn’t get to see any fireworks shows up close and overhead, I did get to see over a dozen — probably close to twenty — fireworks shows from a distance, including the ones in Washington DC and Leesburg. It was really quite an impressive vista, since most of the fireworks shows started at about the same time… I think I might have gotten whiplash, looking from one horizon to the other. Definately a very interesting view of the night’s events. I attempted to take pictures of the fireworks — if any of them are any good, I’ll post them later.
