what i should be doing right now

At this moment I should be in Memorial Park in Pottstown watching the fireworks display. Pottstown has very few things with which to commend itself to prospective visitors, but the annual fireworks display is close to or at the top of that short list.

There must be 50,000 in Memorial Park every July 4th. The display is memorable, the finale spectacular. This year however, it is non-existent. The display has been postponed until Labor Day. because of the flooding last week, which almost completely submerged Memorial Park.

So it is a peaceful night here in Pottstown, with only distant booming reminding us that today is in fact the 4th of July.

Oh well, it's all good anyway since I have to work tomorrow. Time for bed.
