No boom?

[miladycarol]

Today is July 4th. I had an appointment this morning. An actual appointment. With a doctor. I’ve never had an appointment on July 4th in my life. In the US, it just isn’t done. I might have a date, or an engagement, but never an appointment. I was quite shocked when the doctor handed the little appointment card to me with July 4th written on it. Shocked, I say. I still am. I keep waiting to hear fireworks in the distance. So far, all I’ve heard is the water heater banging when I try to coax hot water from the tap. It’s all just a bit surreal for me.

It's funny isn't it? To realise that the day that's big in one place isn't huge anywhere else. I'm sure there's Americans throughout Sydney having a celebration.

I'd love to organise fireworks but our stupid government banned them years ago :)

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. Always a boom tomorrow." Ivanova, Babylon 5.

That's one of my alltime favorite scifi quotes. Mayhap we should save some fireworks for your return?

I recall one July 4th spent in Seaside where we all had to dig trenches on the beach because all the other tourists had illegal fireworks. Talk about rocket's red glare...
