But I'm having a good day. Opened a packet of olives and found not only a
high proportion of lupini beans in there but also a bit of a green bean.

My Boston Baked Beans seem on the right track now that I have cooked down
the liquid. I also turned the crock up to high and left the lid off just
while I took a shower. I know you aren't really supposed to do that but it
did seem to evaporate the last bit of liquid that I couldn't fish out of
there.

I heard loud booms all over here this evening. I don't really get what is
so exciting about loud noises, and how much do people pay for these things?
And how many people will be at the emergency room tonight because of them.

Not many fireworks here at all but a few. I think people just can't afford
them.

Tons where I'm at. A really nice display over the lake that the city put on,
and really nice private fireworks too. I love fireworks, and the smell
afterwards.

It's loud now! We saw quite a show. I only bought 5 this year. One had no
wick. At least it was the $1.99 one. Mostly we just watch the neighbor's
because they seem to be wealthy and can afford many of those $50 and up
ones.

It's just so coooold here. They say warm weather is coming but I'll believe
it when I feel it. We just got too cold and had to come in. Plus all of
the ones closest to us have stopped. But we can still hear them all around.

There were more fireworks here last night. Caught me off guard and I
thought neighbors were setting them off. I guess some places canceled
due to power outages and rescheduled for last night.

Last night a local community had their fireworks, and others this weekend.

Last evening, I heard the loudest. Lightning struck a tree in my backyard.
Minutes earlier,5-10 , I made wish I could see lightning hit a tree, and I
included, not mine. I didn't get to see the lightning, and it hit mine.
Large pine, gonna cost me. Split down the middle, but still standing.

Miss the really big booms of the 60's. They don't use them anymore at
events. They shook the ground.

You couldn't prove it at my house tonight. Usually they are off in
the distance but this year a couple of them seemed to practically be
in my backyard. I still hear them going off, but they are at the
distance I expect them to be and some of those booms are m80's.

July 4 and New Year's Eve would be the ideal times
to murder somebody. A gunshot wouldn't be suspicious.

It got pretty loud around here last night too. It was so loud a
neighbor came home to find that the dog had panicked and jumped though
a window (yes, there was blood) - it hasn't been found yet AFAIK.

Well it's not often that you find those in your olives! I found a bigger
piece in the last bag. Green beans are one of my favorite foods so it was a
nice surprise!

Some people are easily pleased.

Me, I'd prefer not to pay olive prices for beans.
