Happy 4th... yes, it's the 5th (and my birthday), but I was gone all of yesterday... worked 8am-5pm (aka 15 mins overtime and holiday pay... big oh yeah for time and a half!), went 30 miles from work to my mother's for the 4th and birthday dinner, came home around 11 and slept. Didn't set off any fireworks... LAPD made a big deal about a no tolerance policy this year, any city that that fireworks are illegal (and my mother lives on a major street) you can get into deep shit if they catch ya. And as acid will tell you, san fernando valley falls under that illegal area... too much dry brush and such. However I considered driving to compton to buy some anyway (where it is legal), but realized it'd be too risky to set them off in either simi or san fernando valley. Besides my pale ass ain't exactly welcome in them neck of the woods. People around us were setting off big stuff, so it was enjoyable nonetheless:D
