I hope your's is absolutely spectacular, and that no one gets hurt!
http://www.blog.speculist.com/archives/fireworks.gif We'll be out on the Potomac with what some refer to as 'the fools', but that's OK. We're mostly going to observe anyway! |

You kinda signed off on me... Hope she's got a room with a view of the mall. It will be a great show. Call her and tell her to tune the radio to one of the local DC channels which carries the festivities - or watch it on TV while she's seeing the fireworks live! |

She has no plans to be anywhere near the Mall today for any reason. :) I can't think of anywhere worse to be late today or tonight than at the Mall. The entertainment is pretty good, usually, and the fireworks are spectacular, but... there's a kazillion people around, some of whom have been drinking all day and are a "bit" over the edge, it's the perfect "venue" for some crazed terrorist to do something spectacularly awful. unless you work downtown, and have access to your building and its bathrooms, you are pretty much restricted to the porti-potties that have been under heavy use for 24 hours already, getting out of D.C. after the fireworks can take two hours, just to clear the immediate downtown area. The new D.C. Convention Center is a hell of a hike from the mall, but the Yellow Line metro practically connects both. Getting back to the Convention Center area and its hotels after the fireworks would be a pain the ass. If the weather is decent, we'll probably head over to Solomons Island for dinner and a local fireworks display: http://tinyurl.com/6lusev |

The last time I went to the Mall in DC on the 4th of July was on a motorcycle about 20+ years ago, park anywhere and get the hell out fast. |

Fun times. I was a young man at the time, and the candidate was ancient. She just about ran me into the ground when we weren't flying around on small planes of highly suspicious maintenance. |

You kinda signed off on me... Unfortunately, I got caught up in a "situation" and have to actually do some "work" tomorrow with a former client of mine. He just bought a 32 foot Hydra-Sports and it's his first boat. :) Should be interesting. Probably later in July though - we're going to be staying in the area for a couple of days while Mrs. Wave does some work stuff. Give me a shout whenever. I'm going on a weeks motorcycle ride next week. I'll have to be after the 15th. |
