I love the looks on the kids faces at Capitol Fourth as the watch the Sesame Street characters. There were a few toddlers there who just looked absolutely stunned at seeing them outside of the TV.

Here's the problem with the Sesame Street medley - "I love trash" and "C is for Cookie" are no longer part of the show's repertoire. The parents are singing along, and the kids are all confused that someone other than Elmo is doing anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woot!
Right??
I can't tell if people in my neighborhood are setting off fireworks, or if I'm hearing the big ones. I'm also hearing kids yelling, so I'm guessing it's the former, since there is no way you could see anything from here...

Unless I'm mistaken, the fireworks in my neighborhood are being set off in a vacant lot right next to a gas station, which strikes me as being not a terribly good idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm not sure where they're being set off in my neighborhood. The alley? Rooftops?

Boston Pops Fourth has Craig Ferguson hosting and Neil Diamond.
Sounds like it's already several steps above the Capital Fourth.

Was noisy here for a bit. I bet if I got on my top roof, I'd see the downtown fireworks, given the number of folks with rooftop decks I saw out.
Loki lept up to knead the down throw MK was sleeping on. Didn't even bug MK. MK is now washing him within an inch of his life and the kitten is complacent, if not catatonic, with very clean ears.

I can hear the fireworks from my apartment, but I can't see them. When they started Leifur got a bit of a "whatthehell" look on his face. But I petted him for a bit and now the fireworks are just another noise for him. I'm glad he's a pretty chill cat.

I went to watch them from the roof for a little while, but got too annoyed at the annoying people up there. There were people debating whether or not San Diego is part of California.

What would it be a part of, then? Mexico? France?
