shannon_aSpent the day gaming at Donald's, as has been typical on Saturdays for the last several years (though not much longer). However, I'd have to guess that I haven't done so before on the 4th of July, because I would have remembered it. There was a constant barrage of of fire crackers all day. Also, several huge explosions that set off car alarms. And one sequence of loud *crack*s that I'd swear was a gun. Chris tried to convince me otherwise, since we counted 16 or 17 reports.
Any way, it kept me feeling a little out of my skin all afternoon, I think remembering the kid over in Oakland who got crippled from a stray shot last year (though not on the 4th; I think that was a violent shooting that just happened to hit someone blocks away).
Bleh. Stupid people.
We had some of those loud explosions late last night at my house too. They shook the house. But Kimberly said during the day today, there wasn't much, and indeed that's been the case most of the evening.
