Watched 1776 and Yankee Doodle Dandy on Turner Classics to uphold my observation of this tradition.
Also, plenty of TV fireworks courtesy of Macy’s, PBS and others.
Meanwhile, my neighborhood sounds like a war zone tonight as many neighbors work out their COVID frustrations with pyrotechnics. Can’t help feeling sorry for all the terrified dogs and others tonight.
Reflecting on the meaning of this holiday in this most unusual year, I remember other 4th of July observations in the 50s,60s,70s,80s,90s as well as in this century. Lots of flags, hot dogs, baseball, and laughs. Joey Chestnut won his 13th consecutive Nathan’s Coney Island hot dog eating contest with a record 75 dogs and buns!
Tomorrow we return to our reality living with COVID and a madman as President with no baseball.
With thanks for every blessing, this too shall pass!
Amen.
