4th o' July..

We had a terrific time doin' all that patriotic American type stuff you do on the 4th of July.

Lizzard King did his magic with burgers and dogs (sorry Speck) on the grill,mom o' LK toiled all morning preparing her patented 'to-die-for' potato salad,and some friends stopped in to join in the celebration.
Long about dusk,we toddled our selves out to the O-Town Dam to catch the annual extravaganza!..

LK has a pre-determined secret spot to park,directly behind the dam.
The uninitiated will spend 3 hours trying in vain to reach the top of the dam,and 3 more hours trying to get back down the hill after the show...(your time may vary).



..break out the beer and soda,kick back in our lawn chairs,and enjoy the show!








It was short,..about twenty minutes,..but very sweet.
What with all the ballyhoo over wildfires 'round these parts,I figure we were pretty fortunate to have any kind of display at all.





And guess what!!..They managed to pull the whole thing off without burning down the entire Pacific northwest!
I knew we could do it..
Take that,you Secret Fraternity of Assholes!



Just in case these totally manipulated,and shamefully re-touched in Photoshop stills aren't enough for you guys (Sheesh!..yer killin' me!),I've included the Reader's Digest condensed video version,for your shopping convenience.



I hope this post has found you and yours in the best of health,and holiday spirits!
As for me,and yet again,life is good in Sling's Domain.
