Two gulls
Here's yet another in my famous bird series. These two fellas are Alcatraz residents. Photo courtesy of Loyal Reader Number One.
Happy Independence Day! Yesterday! We had a nice, quiet day, culminating in Loyal Reader Number Three and I going to see the fireworks at the neighborhood community college. We got out a little bit late and arrived at the grandstand just as the fireworks were starting. Perfect timing. Loyal Readers Numbers Five and Twelve were with us, and LRN12 definitely would not have enjoyed the fireworks, so bunches of people stayed home and watched a movie (link warning: movie-related music) on TV.
Anyway, the fireworks show was quite good and we were only out of the house for a few minutes or so.
Went to see my brother and nephew in Tucson this afternoon and evening - we just got home a few minutes ago. We went out to dinner at a fairly nice Mexican restaurant. The food was good but the service was pathetically slow. I complained and they gave us a bunch of money off along with numerous apologies. No problem.
While we were at my brother's house, I had occasion to exercise the zipper on the brand-new pair of shorts I was wearing. It turns out that the zipper was sewn in defectively and it chose that moment to come apart. It took several minutes and Loyal Reader Number Four's help to get the wardrobe malfunction put back together. In the meantime, my brother was wondering what was taking me so long. Dumb old shorts.
And now it's time for bed. See you tomorrow, on the last day of our visit to Mesa.

There were most definitely no fireworks at Scout Camp. Instead, we cooked dinner in camp (foil dinners - they were alright), had a brief talk about patriotism etc., and went to bed on time.
I had fun at Scout camp, but am very glad to be home.
That's too bad you didn't get fireworks. I got a ton of fireworks. We went to the Brigham City fireworks on the 4th, which is now a tradition in my family, and that show's really good. Then on the 5th, we went to my cousin's house in Logan, and we did sparklers, and my dad and his 2 brothers did a fireworks display for us. It was fun, and it was interesting to see them try to line up a bunch in a row and just light one, and see if they would light each other. I think the record for the night was 5 in a row, but there was a wind, so it made the task much more difficult.
