It went off 5 mins early as well, so no matter where you look on the web, it seems the coverage picks up in the middle of the...eruption?

Someone forgot to close their eyes and think of England... Or were they doing exactly that?

Guy Fawkes day isn't for another 4 months.

We watched the Nats beat the Giants, and used my club passes in the process because it was too damn hot to sit in our regular seats. Then we went home and watched people in our neighborhood set off fireworks. The folks right across the street seem to be over this--they did NONE this year, after ramping down considerably last year. We've decided we need to take the girls to a real 4th of July fireworks show--not the big one at the Washington Monument, because the girls aren't ready for the logistical nightmare that becomes, but one out here in the 'burbs.

The fireworks in the outlying areas aren't nearly as spectacular, but they are pretty dang good. and not having to deal with the big city traffic and crowd hassle makes it so worth it.

Maybe they are having financial troubles.

Maybe they are having financial troubles.

I gather it was a family issue. Their son used to throw a big party and set off all the fireworks. He moved out, so last year his dad set off only a few, and this year none at all--apparently without the kid and his buddies around he just didn't feel motivated.

Of course, that may well be a cover for "We couldn't afford to blow up several thousand dollars worth of fireworks this year."
