I think I'm going to watch that film from 1996, Independence Day. Just so I can remind myself there is a bunker I can go to in Area 51 if I happen to own a Winnebago and drive across a desert to find it. LOL Jill |

Campfires are verbotten, too, and off-duty firemen remain on call. With humidity in the single digits, and an expected high temperature of 116 F today, wildfires are a distinct possibility, and they are taking no chances! (If fires happen, they won't be any that could have been prevented.) |

The crowds and traffic are unmanageable and we've had a couple of severe injuries. I'll be glad when its over for this year. I love fireworks, but it is just so hot and so dry and there are so many idiots when it comes to playing with them. (A few of whom I'm related to) I'm very glad we no longer have a wooden shake roof.

(A few of whom I'm related to) How does (I'm sorry, having a middle-aged moment here, totally *blanking* on your border collie's name, which I will of course remember the minute I hit "send") do with fireworks and kids' local firecrackers? Some dogs really freak out. There were some loud fireworks going off last night, I doubt they were official, since it was only the 3rd, and I expected to find my cats all looking wary and twitchy-eared when I got home. But nobody seemed especially concerned about it. I guess it doesn't affect cats as much, for some reason. I did keep Smudge in last night, though - don't want her having a run-in with kids playing with firecrackers. Same goes for tonight. Now that, she *was* concerned about, and we all got a healthy yet forlorn serenade from her as she stood at the door. Looking forward to tonight... Joyce |

Jo Hi Jo, My home town and a few around there send their fireworks out from a dock or parking lot, so they go out over the lakes/rivers nearby. I used to go to Morristown, NY across from Prescott, PQ, Canada - they set theirs off over the St. Lawrence River. It was neat watching the huge ships going up river. If there happened to be one on this stretch of river when the fireworks went up, they would sound their horns. Our cats do not like fireworks. We have a field day here in town, and they set them off less than 1000 feet away. Pretty to watch, but every cat in the house needs a bottle of rescue remedy - that is, after they come out from under our bed. Mishi |

Mishi I grew up in Washington DC, so I have excessive expectations as to fireworks. But at the same time I shudder at all the money that will literally go up in smoke tonight. Our local fireworks display has been financed for many years my the local newspaper. Professional pyrotechnicians and sent up over a lake from a tiny island in the lake. But they still managed to send one into the crowd resulting in an amputation for a child. That was the second injury in the last few years. I just seems to me that the holiday has been reduced to a bunch of people getting drunk in public, eating take out fried chicken and behaving like fools. But I'm an old grouch and I'm quite sure children are having as much fun as I used to. Jo |

Jo Dang Jo If I knew you were being a grouch ;-) I would have told you to come over and help me out at my BBQ blow out. I have been busy all day cooking and preparing for the store employees there will be about 100 or more here in an hour. We are doing fried chicken but it has been soaked in butter milk and honey for over 12 hours and the crust has paprika, oregano, with some other secret herbs. that is one of the item. I took a break and let the helpers finish the small work I have been working the last 3 days for this. Fireworks will be shot off I got permit and a firefighter going to be here so it will be legal. We are using the neighbors field it has been raining for the last 3 days so the ground is soaked. I am telling every one tonight that I am retiring those who don't make it will know at the meeting on Sunday. Items on the list Flank steak stuffed with fresh mozzarella and mushrooms oysters, clams, mussels all soaked in a chardonnay brine Blue crabs caught this morning turkey legs injected with a honey base broth chicken wings soaked in buttermilk covered in a honey BBQ sauce with smoke chipotle chopped fresh stuffed portabella mushrooms with blue crab meat jerked pork skewer's with various vegetables roasted vegetables and corn on the cob BBQ ribs with Italian seasoning and my secret sauce Coleslaw, macaroni salad, red potatoes salad Mash potatoes mixed with baby spinach and roasted garlic Country fried lamb skewers ( something I saw on food network) Stuffed pork chops with cornbread with dried apricot stuffed artichokes with cheese and shrimp and of course hotdogs, ground chuck burgers and other various necessary BBQ items Well cooled off enough talk to everyone later back to cooking the guest are starting to arrive |
