happy 4th

It's little late, but oh well. I had to work last night, so I didn't get to see any of the fireworks coming out of the "open cut" in Lead. Nor did I get to see the parade, because it started at 3pm, which was the time I needed to be in the cage. So I had to show up half an hour early to miss the parade, and find a parking spot (that I had to pay for because tourists took up all the free parking). *grumble*

I had to work last Independence Day, as well, at night, so I couldn't see any fireworks then, either. Maybe next year...

I love seeing the rediculous things that people wear to celebrate the 4th of July; red, white and blue is fine, yes. But getting your nails painted patriotically with stars and stripes is a little silly. As is a muscle tank with stars and stripes on a 60 year old man. So are the red, white, and blue Mardi Gras beads that old women are wearing. And hats with red, white, and blue flowers or explodey things on them. And giant bangle bracelets sporting our nation's colors. Ahh, yes, yesterday was a feast of fashion don'ts.

That was about the most "fun" I had all day yesterday...except for the eight dollars in silver 50 cent pieces that I found at work near the end of my shift. Score.
