"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance. . . . It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forevermore."
-John Adams, in a letter from Philadelphia to his wife Abigail in Massachusetts, July 4, 1776

Heh! All we had down here were "random people" firecrackers, at random intervals, never seen, just going off outside. If nothing else, hearing to a 9mm without hearing protection (trust me, this was NOT intentional) months ago desensitized me to the "racket" outside. Ah well.
And sorry, didn't see the fireworks either.

NO FIREWORKS?! What is wrong with this? I mean, fireworks are like a tradition, like a Christmas tree at Christmas time!!! Well, kind of.
