Got smashed and Watched fireworks. My brother's pad overlooks the city park where everyone gathers for the fireworks and concerts, so grilling on their veranda was like being on the Girls Gone Wild balcony at Bourbon Street. Lots of taut, tan tail and even a huge gang melee to observe as the night wore on.

Wow. None of the above. I was going to watch the city's 'works, but decided to install my new rear brake instead.

We're moving across town so we packed a few boxes and took a load over to the new place during the afternoon. Around 5:30 a big quick moving T-boomer rolled through and knocked out the power. We took a quick shower in the dark and headed over to a friend's house for a cookout of grilled salmon, corn on the cob, and big hearty salad with blue cheese, pecans and cranberries. After dinner we walked over to 1st Street and pulled up a few chairs to watch the sun go down and the fireworks go up over at the Naval Academy.

Sunset:


Boom:


Boom Boom:


The view of the sun going down behind the Chapel dome was pretty cool:


When the fireworks were over we headed back to our friend's house for some brownies and ice cream and then headed back home. When we got home we found out that we still didn't have power (even though people one block over did). So we basically slept in a sauna. Power came back on around 10 am this morning.
