Independence Day

[elizabethth]

One of the nice things about living at Lynn and Victor's is that I can look out the living room window and see a goodly portion of the Powderhorn Park fireworks, always a fine display. Tonight was absolutely cloudless, with a mild steady wind from the west, so the light-chrysanthemums gave way to smoke-chrysanthemums, which gradually transformed into smoke-Portuguese-man-o-wars and floated off to the east.

I am feeling particularly free from tyranny today.
