That's probably the only fireworks I'll see - July in San Francisco means fog at night, which means I can't see the Bay fireworks display from my house. Going down to actually see it in person means hob-nobbing with the drunken unwashed masses. eww!

Happy Fourth, everyone!

I went to a fireworks show at the Presidio there in S.F. once, years ago, and saw the coolest firework ever. It made an American flag in the sky.

I thought I'd hijack this thread to congratulate the American and British football (soccer) fans on their respective clubs' advancement to the second round of the World Cup.

 

So…congratulations!

 

I have no true allegiances, I just enjoy watching some of the games. My girlfriend is half-Dutch, so I just kind of politely nod my head in admiration of their successes, lest I suffer some hideous wrath.

 

Though it's not looking very positive for Australia; sorry, Jarrod.

 

[edit: hmm, I think those fireworks broke this thread; some of my pretty words are cut off. dammit!]

Someday I will get a sports hobby.

I just know it.

Anyway, I think Britian should win.

They want it so much more.

I'd long forgotten about this post.  But checking in to read the new post reminds me:  we here in Memphis don't get any fireworks this year.  We usually get 2 displays - one downtown and one in the east suburbs.  This year everybody is broke and no corporate sponsorships are coming forth for the 4th. 

So, having brought the thread back to its beginning, I'll just say that I have never been able to get the hang of soccer (er, football).  I'm a baseball fan myself, but congrats to all the winners, and may the team with the least offensive fans (and horns) win.
