Happy Independence Day!

Which is the same, shockingly enough, as the 4th of July. Who woulda thunk it?

I went to see fireworks in town today, and my friend has an apartment right on the waterfront where they're set off. The view from his balcony was perfect. Course, he wasn't actually out there, cause he hates loud noises, and fireworks freak him out badly. So he hid in his house the whole time poor guy. On the bright side, there was cake.
