Fireworks

We went to the downtown lakefront tonight to see the fireworks. It was a fairly short display, maybe 20 minutes, but super spectacular. It was sort-of-synchronized with music playing on the classical station. What a mob scene. At least it seemed less jammed than the '76 bi-centennial fireworks in New York.

It's the first time I've been home for the 4th since 1997. TOC somehow got in the habit of booking their summer seminars to include Independence Day. It's a good Objectivist holiday, but a couple of times the seminar was in Canada, which really took the air out of the holiday.

Don't do much for the 4th!
