Our Fourth of July hoof up the hill.  Check out that smog!  After days of fireworks popping our air is dirty and the real show hadn't even started yet....I kind of love and hate this holiday.  The fireworks give me some strange ptsd that makes me think that our town is being attacked and the air is not healthy for human beings.  But wow, it's pretty!  Next year we're going out of town to escape it all.
