We aren’t leaving till morning but I wanted to go ahead and post my official vacation goodbye while I was thinking about it!!
We leave in the morning and head to a puny town outside of Nashville. Oh yay. The sticks. From there we will go to a little “country” wedding whatever that means. Anyone got dress ideas for me? My MIL wouldn’t tell me any more than “it’s a little country wedding” Thanks. Then it is off to Georgia for some visits with friends.
I will have no net connection while at in laws. They live in the dark ages. Just wrong. *SIGH* So I probably won’t “see” you guys for a few days.
Oh yeah, just because I have to complain… WHY ARE THE FIREWORKS HERE TONIGHT??????? IT IS NOT THE FOURTH OF JULY YET????? WHY IS OHIO SO WEIRD??????
OK, got it out of my system (I hope).

It’s the ‘works
Have fun on your trip! I find weddings easy when enough of your friends have them medieval-style, heh.
As for Ohio and the ‘works … Well, there are complications on various times. I’ve heard of communities which aim for the closest weekend before the 4th (which would not be the case this year). Some spread it out (like trick-or-treating on Halloween) so each community in the area can get their own special night and people can go to them all. Other places seem to want to expand the celebration over several days.
Sandusky had problems with fireworks for at least three years in a row in the late 90’s. Fireworks are always at Ceder Point which isn’t the best for weather. One year they started on the 4th … but stopped after less than 10 minutes because the wind was too strong and the soot was blowing into the crowd. They did it again the following night. Next year there was a strong storm that night so they had made the announcements to postpone until the 5th. The following year they were planning to postpone again because of the weather but the forecast changed at the last minute so they rushed to do it … but didn’t start until shortly after midnight – aka July 5th again, heh.
((Also note I got to be hit in the face by soot a later year, heehee))
Two years ago I was with some friends and the astronomy department on top of the roof of their building for the 4th. It was raining and we at first thought they were going to delay the show for about a half hour but there was a break in the storm so they started 10 minutes early to try to get done before the next front hit. It was so cool up on the roof though; we could see the downtown Cleveland show to the north-west, the Euclid show to the north-east, the Parma show to the south-west, and cracks of lightning in the retreating clouds to the south-east! Oh and we were getting rained on. It was so much fun!
((we also played this nifty first-person shooter tank game across the network in the astronomy computer lab while we were waiting for the first storm to end, heh))
