    Happy Fort of July!

    Anyone here do fireworks? Post your pics or vids.
    Here are a couple from the past. One is a short of a firework. The other is stuff stuck together as an attempt at silliness and a firework is included.

    I think in this case something a bit more patriotic is in order...

    No private displays of fireworks allowed here. That's a big downer in my book but understandable—the entirety of southern California catches fire far too easily.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It would be if you lived here. Or if you like movies. Otherwise, perhaps not.

    AWOL for a bit...

    Some of you may miss my graceful wit and smooth charm over next few days. I am due for some surgery on the morrow and my right wing may be immobilized for a time. (Too bad I cannot arrange for the nation's right wing to be immobilized.) Melanocystic hyperplasia. Sounds dreadful, and my dermo and the plastic guy both assure me it has the potential to be dreadful. So, it is planned to remove a boat-shaped patch of Albi -- not enough for a lamp shade, Gott sei Dank!, but of sufficient acreage to be unpleasant, especially since the plan to supply the replacement sod from somewhere in my groin. OY! The mohel has already done that! ;)

    Wish me luck.
    73 de Albi

    Good luck Albi. Maybe you could learn to type left-handed. Or teach the cat to do it for you? ;)
