Thank you, Yowie! The Deadly Duo and I are - from our top-floor crow's-nest
apt. - enjoying the great fireworks displays from every suburb of Denver in our s/w corner view; strangely enough, they don't all happen the same night, much less on the 4th, which makes it even better. Deadly Duo could care less re the noise, but the dogs in our building always freak out. Hardly anyone I know dwells on true meaning of this holiday - it's a day off from work (USA has less holidays and vacations than other large countries, we hear), BBQ, picnics, beer-drinking, and water activities if there's any water around.

Yes, thank you Yowie! At the risk of sounding very un-American, I could definitely do without the fireworks. I have always hated them. Bah, humbug. I'm getting up a 7 a.m. (ugh), to deliver a fan to the Humane Society--even though the kennels are cooled with a swamp cooler, it was no match for 116 degrees today. Poor pups. (the cats have a referigerated air conditioner, BTW) Anyway, then there's a parade, a big hoop-la in the park, and I think we'll BBQ too. My FIL is one of the last WWII guys around, and they're always honored at the beginning of the celebration. Bless their hearts. Our WWII vets are really getting old. Sherry |

I hope your fourth of July is also a good day, even though it isn't a national holiday in Australia. =o) I have my spareribs marinating and the crust made for my apple pie. Can't get much more American than Apple pie. Melissa |

I wonder about hot dogs. What's that jingle, baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet? Sherry |

... Happy Independance Day, those who celebrate it. Yes, happy Independance Day from me, too! In fact, there is one more celebration today: Our Queen Sonja of Norway is celebrating her 68th birthday today. I guess most of my fellow Norwegians don't remember. This is not a day for heavy celebration. The Queen herself is having a private party at the Royal family's country house on an island south of Oslo, while her husband, King Harald, is participating in a regatta in Sweden... Have a nice day, all! Hans, Tinùviel and Teti |
