the charlottesville fireworks were pretty neat, despite the last minute organization/funding (the city cut the funding this year, so a few citizens and businesses scrambled together to put on the show, AFAIK). We picked up

mrjustice just before nine, drove around a bit, then we parked in front of

red_frog's house. I don't think she was home, otherwise, we'd have offered to drag her down. we walked over to McIntyre park, up the hill, and spread our blanket.

the show was purty neat. the timing was a little off at times, but i don't really care about that. we talked about how the displays we saw as kids rarely featured multicolored single rockets. and i really only remember red, green, white, and gold fireworks, though my memory could be off. i certainly don't remember purple and pink and not many blues. i think it's odd that technology could have spread/improved that quickly, seeing as how fireworks have been around thousands of years. still, it's neat.

we dropped randy off downtown, then came home. i mixed myself another drink, which tom is not going to taste, since he fails to appreciate them. ;) i'm kind of sleepy. i might go to bed earlier than i'd planned. we'll see.
