Independence Day performance went well, then we retired to our air conditioning and good eats. Czarny, our cat, stuck his nose outside once, decided it was just nasty out there, and spent the rest of the day asleep or demanding one of the many humans scratch the base of his tail.
Then we were on fire watch until the wee hours, since so many tourists and assorted idjits thought it was a good idea to shoot fireworks in a drought-stricken area. Two houses completely burned on Saturday, a third severely damaged, and 3 dogs killed, made all of us around here pretty paranoid. Water pressure went down a bit, as we kept our hoses primed and ready to hose down any fiery residue. They finally shot their last wads around 0230, and I made it to bed about 0300 or so.
I really do not like fireworks anymore...
