Of course, it’s 4th of July and I live across from a school yard so they’re going to be setting crap off for a while longer. This is one of the nights of the year where I’m sure to be sleeping with earplugs and a pillow over my head. (New Years being the other night.) Every time I think they’re finished, someone else pulls something bigger out. It’s almost midnight now and a car full of about 20 kids drove up. They got out more fireworks and a gallon of rum. We’ll see if it ever gets quiet.

Went to the gym and it was actually more crowded than a Friday afternoon. So today was all about watching the Monk marathon or the Twilight Zone marathon, or some other TV when I should have been out in the sunlight. But the sun was too bright and hot for this Oregonian. We needed some drizzle.
