Makes a lot of sense. I mean, obviously, nobody will get drunk unless there are
fireworks, right?

We'll be taking a boatload of guests into Elliott Bay for the Fourth of July
Display on Sunday. Everybody will be watching fireworks but me. (I'll be
watching out for drunk ruffians boating badly in the fray)



No kidding! The last time we tried that up at Everett, we almost got hit
by some drunks who decided it'd be a good idea to use a 60 year old wood
boat as target practice for a roman candle.
