We had wonderful thunderstorms today - too bad they didn't arrive around dusk yesterday, it might have dampened some of the ardour for setting off explosive devices for many hours.

How was it down at the Legion Hovel? Anyone shot or arrested?

One of the Legion-Wannabees got into a gunfight with a Ranger at Yellowstone. The Ranger will recover from his wounds, the Wannabee won't. Since he was never a member of the Legion he won't be remembered even after the NPS releases his name. The Ranger, on the other hand, is being toasted even as I type this.

Apparently some ne're-do-wells in Pocatello got reckless with fireworks yesterday and started a brush fire DOWNHILL from a bunch of houses. The FD evacuated several of the homes and folks couldn't return for some hours. The FD also was very, very grateful to the goddess of the wind for not doing her usual thing and blowing her wind uphill, as that could have wiped out a whole neighborhood not too far from where we live. That would have also taken out Big Lots, Ridley's Supermarket, and AAA Office -- not to mention sparks and cinders blowing across and setting fire the the local Fire Station. If captured the FD will offer at least one of the reckless ones to the wind goddess as a suitable sacrifice.
See?

Fireworks are not for amateurs, that's for sure.

Four of us did something new on the 4th - parked on the rooftop of a hospital parking garage and watched fireworks from all over the city - some amateur, some pro, some quite near and some a few miles away.

There were about 50 people there. It was fun to watch the reflections of the nearby fireworks in the hospital windows. Even modern glass had waves or imperfections in it that made a sea change in the display.

Rapparee, it's a good thing that
the wind goddess and the fire goddess
didn't get together for that incident.
