a couple years ago i caught the 4th of july fireworks display in eveleth, MN, pop. 3500, home of the world's largest free-standing hockey stick. they had the whole main street blocked off w food trucks & a mobile stage where a band was doin hard rock covers... there was a line a dozen people long for smokes at the gas station, right up the street from the hells angels club where five fat potbelly guys were sittiing in lawn chairs behind their row of parked hogs. i saw maybe two black people all nite. as i was heading back to the car i saw an old man walking as fast as he could, totally abandoning his tiny wife, who was like whimpering "fred... fred!" & visibly struggling to catch up to him but he just kept marching away into the night & so did i
so what are your plans for theh oliday
Sometime in 2019, I went to Florida.
My girlfriend's sister went into labour within the week I arrived and she got really upset.
Their family has a history of being born on or near holidays though.
None of this was planned so everyone went to the baby shower and then the hospital.
Ashly got really tired of watching Aquaman and emotionally supporting her sister; Aquaman wasnt very good.
So instead of waiting for the baby to come home Heather sent her workfriend to pick me up.
I think I spent the 4th of July watching that one marathon of Dr pimple popper.
Alliyah didn't quite make the promised delivery date -- sharing the Holiday with her birthday
It was still only a few hours into the morning of July 5th.
I still had fun, it was probably the best July 4th tbqh.
our anniversary is the 3rd so we usually just lump that in to the 4th and call it a day, plus the neighborhood lights enough fireworks from their own driveways that you get a fun enough show just sitting outside
i'm usually in fucking los angeles on business for the 4th so this will be a nice change of pace
