Hello again and how was everyones fourth this year? Mine was pretty good. Our new apartment doesnt have the premium view of the fireworks that our old one had and I just didnt have any desire to fight traffic for an hour just to get home. so this year with my son on my shoulders I stood in the parking lot and we could see the tops of the fireworks display, and you know that was ok. While I like the big fancy displays and feeling the thundering boom in my chest from the oudest ones to me the fireworks symbolize the freedoms we share in our great country. I know not everything in this country is fair or makes sense, but it is still one of the best countries there is and we still ebjoy more freedom then anyone else; so to me wether it is a multi million dollar diplay or a handfull of people gathered around a lone sparkler I know that this great country is still going strong.
