Nothing like BBQ on the 4th - burger with provolone on toasted garlic artisan bread with ginger mustard. Heaven.

Maddy just had hot dogs.

And we can watch the fireworks from our house!

Dear Morrigoon,

"A male woman" can be very scary. Here is an example:

So, when BD says "a female woman", I can really tell the difference now.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

The world has been exploding for the last hour.

You Californian you.

Every time I mention Barbecueing hamburgers to my South Carolina born and bred boyfriend, I get a lecture that hamburgers aren't barbecue. Barbecue is pork slathered in barbecue sauce, nothing else. :rolleyes:

Wow, maybe it was Providence that kept me and Laurie from our (recent years) usual place to watch Fourth Fireworks.


I know zapppop was there earlier in the day (he got to ride the brand spanking new Monorail Red!), but I lost touch with him later in the day and don't know if he stuck around for fireworks.


Had a fabulous Fourth at the Casa de Mousepod. Insta-Grill, Strawberrys and Chips, Hot Dogs Americana, James Cagney, pyrotechnic panorama, and 1776!!! Old friends, new acquaintences, and one of my favorite holidays. Yippee!

Happy belated 4th everyone!!


Tim & I took Taylor to the Giants game in SF. They lost:(
We didn't see any fireworks, Tim & Taylor went to sleep around 7pm. I did laundry.:rolleyes:

I know this will feed into a certain stereotype. But for the first time since moving here we went into San Francisco to watch the fireworks over the bay.

Not that it particularly bothered me, but it was by far the least patriotic 4th of July festivities I've ever been in on. If you'd blindfolded me and dropped me into the middle of it I wouldn't have known the reason for the partying until the fireworks started.

But considering it was so foggy it was a pretty good show. Certainly better than the second half of Disneyland's.
