Fireworks.

Tonight we went to the downtown fireworks.  They were pretty ok.  Compared to a lot of the bigger cities fireworks, they're not as extravagant, but they're still very nice.  It actually stormed before the fireworks started and it rained for about 45 minutes or so.  We were kind of afraid that they might not have them, but we hung around just in case.  We were rewarded.  

It's the weirdest thing how almost every year it tends to rain on Independence Day.  It's always like that here.  Is it like that anywhere else?  I supposed it's because of the summer time weather conditions.  A popup storm can happen on any given night.  I was very happy that they were able to shoot them off, though.

Speaking of fireworks.. I have this big ol' stash of fireworks upstairs in the spare bedroom's closet that have been up here since 2000 or 2001.  They really need to be shot off.  I've been working on them for a long time.  I think I'm saving the coolest thing in there for about 5 years from now.  Hopefully by then it will still work.  If it doesn't, I'm taking it back for a refund.. 10 years later.  

So, how was everyone's Independence Day festivities?

Thanks for reading and for being awesome like usual.

Presentation.

The presentation was a "GREAT SUCCESS!"  If you're wondering why I quoted that, it's because Borat says that in movie.  Anywho, my group-mates and I worked on the presentation about solar energy for about 6 days counting 4 out of class.  We got it all ready and delivered it today and made the highest grade in the class of a 95.  We were all pretty excited.  We worked our backsides off to get everything down and ready to go.

Now the next big hurdle is the 17-page proposal that we have due on the 17th of this month.  I think since we have the presentation out of the way, the proposal should be cake.  My group members are some awesome people and they're doing a great job on everything.  

Tomorrow (well, now today) I have to work 10am - 6pm.  I'm loving (note sarcasm) the fact that I have to work on Independence Day.  I think this may be the first time I've ever had to work Independence Day.  I guess I better get used to it.  I'm sure there's tons of people that have to work it.  I am one of them.  But, luckily we close at 6pm tomorrow, so I won't miss any festivities, if there are any.  I know I'm going to shoot off some good ol' fireworks.  I've had the same bag of fireworks since 2001 or 2002.  It's nuts.  They last a long time around here.  I guess I just never wanted to shoot them all off because I didn't want to buy anymore.  Some of these that I have might be antiques by now.  Who knows.

Well, thanks for reading my useless nonsense.

Your pal,

Josh.
