Fireworks at The Fireside

If you've spent enough time in SF you'll know: July is (usually) a foggy month. This makes viewing Fourth of July fireworks tricky.

It can be fun to watch the multi-colored fog to a musical accompaniment with a huge crowd that you then get to share an N Judah with.

But, I wasn't in the mood for that this year.

Instead, I watched the Macy's Fourth of July fireworks "live" from NY at The Fireside.

I would have watched the multi-colored fog "live" from SF.

But, no one was televising it.

So much for local programming.

Happy Birthday, USA

233 years old today.

Which really isn't that old for a country.

We still have time to figure out how to do it right.

Right?

Edited to add: Don't get me wrong- I'm glad to be an American. I really like the idea of living in a country where everyone's equal. And maybe, someday, we all will be.
