Obligatory Fourth of July Fireworks Thing

[The following was written for this occasion the previous year, and is presented again. It seems that membership does not have its privileges this time around. -- DLA]

Tonight, some enterprising person managed to get this on YouTube, but Sal and I watched this display from the balcony of my office just west of the White House. It isn't something I get to do very often, especially with building restrictions after 9-11. But this year I got lucky. It also helped that I was able to drive into town and avail myself of the building's parking lot, what with nearly half a million people using the public transportation system and all.

For once, membership has its privileges.
