Forgot I'd already used that picture. Oh well, wotever. I'm not into flags and fireworks today. Too many assholes out there calling themselves patriots and me in the office for something.
They made fireworks legal in HB this year, so for several nights and all afternoon yesterday peeps have been setting them off wherever whenever instead of discreetly like they used to. It's super-startling and annoying. The dogs bark like mad and sometimes the booms set off car alarms. I have no idea why the council thought this was a good idea, except I know the merchants went all out with their lobbying.
I saw Ted, cuz a friend wanted to. Thought it was supposed to be a family movie, but then noticed it had an R-rating. Wot? The previews were all for super-violent or sexual movies, so hmm. It was the weirdest fucking thing. I just can't even...
I like fireworks being legal here in Sac Co. Makes for a lot of families gathering out in the street and kids having pseudo-pyromaniacal fun. Most people clean up after themselves. Plus all sorts of high school bands and sports teams get to raise funds. Of course people also shoot off the illegal ones but wotev.
I had zero to do with fireworks this year, unless hearing them boom far away counts.
I love this picture. When doing Qi Gong we had a stance called "Scholar opens scroll" or something like that that looks just like this with the head up instead of down. I thought about these guys every time I did it.
We went to the City of Alameda Fourth of July Parade, and had a blast except when the military museum people came by in their jeeps with machine guns mounted and some idiot tried to start the "USA! USA!" chant. This for a bunch of overweight slobs who look as though they never even saw the door to a recruiting office, cruising by in all there WW2 and Cold War finery. this after some desultory clapping for real vets who had won the Purple Heart. I had to grit my teeth until the swine were around the corner.
Alameda is unique. I wish for a time machine so I could drive a buggy down the tree-lined lane it was named for.
