Apparently, so do artists. Looks to have been a great 4th. Thanks!
So glad Smooth had fun. Here in Los Angeles it's a nightmare for dogs and other pets. Everyone digs into their "defense budget" to buy the biggest badest illegal fireworks. They start shooting them off at the beginning of June, escalate for the days bracketing the 4th of July & on July 11th some are still exploding them every night. We finally got a doggie pop-up tent for INSIDE our house. Soon as the fireworks start my roommate's dog runs and hides in her tent & one of us sleeps on the floor next to her. Next year maybe we should book a Kayak tour...
