July 1
...serving up your daily dish.
Keeping our fingers crossed that the fireworks following tonight's concert in Brookdale Park will not be cancelled due to inclement weather. The decision will be made around 3:30 this afternoon; check back for the news. Meanwhile, here's a flash back to last year, when the switch from the field to the open lawn (same plan this year) created some confusion.
Be a friend and share your best parking/viewing secrets. There is no rain date for the fireworks.

Last year I thought that in honor of the "Star Spangled Banner" the county decided to re-create the Battle of Baltimore. After getting ashes in my eyes from the "rockets red glare" and being bonked on the head by the debris from the "bombs bursting in air" I began to feel like I was taking part in the Defense of Fort McHenry.

Most certainly it was, but sometimes I worry for the future.
Here are good fourth of July wishes from Brian Williams, NBC anchor:
"At least six of the Americans held at the U.S. embassy in Tehran as hostages for 444 days claim Ahmadinejad was one of the leaders of the captors, having recognized him on television reports.
Williams’ comment came in a question to reporter Andrea Mitchell.
At the end of Mitchell’s report, Williams asked, 'What would it all matter if proven true? Someone brought up today the first several U.S. presidents were certainly revolutionaries and might have been called ‘terrorists’ by the British crown, after all.'

Parking secret: LEAVE YOUR CAR HOME AND ****WALK***** TO THE FIREWORKS. Last year I was taking a son (with guitar and amp) to his friend's house who lives on a dead-end off the park. It took FORTY FIVE MINUTES to travel a mile and a half.... And that quiet little street was wall-to-wall cars. And when I picked up the boy at about midnight, that quiet little street had litter all over it from the slobs who'd parked there while they were at the fireworks.
