Yes, the good marketing folks at
AAPL have gotten to me. From this day on, July 4th shall be known as iDay.
So last night, the R-A/R household headed out for fireworks. They started at 9pm, and we left the house at 8:30pm. We could not get to where we were intending. This turned out to be a good thing. We ended up at the field where they were launching the fireworks from. We were so close, the cops came by and hassled us to move back.
I seem to have this thing about getting hassled by cops. I was not even wearing my Black Flag t-shirt.
I also did not wear my IMPEACH BUSH! t-shirt with my Not My President button. Since we did not make it to the festivities proper, there really was no reason to.
Rbr had a blast with the fireworks. John5 was being a little kill-joy by complaining about the noise. I am going to ask him today if he enjoyed the fireworks. My guess is that he will say yes, and not mention at all the noise. Always the way, eh? At the time, we can think of only the bad but later, we remember all the good.

Unrelated note, last Saturday Mistress Snipe took me to Zen Sushi and Martini Lounge, in Del Mar. That was a lot of fun. I actually had the bartender come out and query me if the Martini he made for me (it was a Surprise Me, with some direction) was good. Indeed, it was. Next time, I may actually have to try the sushi.
What could be better than sushi in one hand, and a martini in another? These lounge type places are over-due for a comeback. Anyone interested in opening a Tiki Lounge?
