I don't know what it is about fireworks that can change a mood. Because of the beautiful display, I went from sullen (explain later when I am in the mood) to exuberant within about half an hour. It made me so very happy to see the beach lined with people who had American flags because I think this is the biggest turnout TI has had in forever.

I mean, it got so bad the police had to come out to watch the crowds. That's never ever happened here before, at least to my knowledge. It was cool, in a very patriotic way.

Or it may have been because of all the illegal bottle-rockets. *cough*

I wish I was on a boat because there are fireworks for miles down the beach. It really makes me wish I could just see it all.

But the best of all, it makes me happy to see so many people celebrating the Fourth of July. I'm all warm and fuzzy. ^______^

PS- Happy birthday to L's brother!
