My Backyard, and neighborhood -
Last night we had a heck of a shindig to celebrate the end of 2008, which was just a totally stupid year that we are so glad to be finally rid of. That extra second seemed like an eternity. My junior near-clone and I, along with a responsible adult, lit off about 10,000 mortar balls last night. Somebody who was sitting inside watching TV swore that they saw Dick Clark. We bought a bottle of Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon but ended up just drinking beer. I think the kids got into the vodka so I am putting them all in the Betty Ford Center for a year or so. However long it takes, you know?
So anyway, like I said we lit off tons of fireworks, gradually reducing the angle of fire from 90 degrees (straight up and down) to about 26 degrees, at which point they would just explode right over top of the lake.
Also something else happened but I have to go so come back later and read about it.
Ok I'm back. What happened was the cops closed down our neigborhood for about a half hour. They were making a checkpoint at the only way out of the hood as we were riding out to by weapons-grade fireworks. We saw a cop pulling this funky looking gun from the future out of his trunk, word on the street is that it shoots cayenne pepper packs that stick to the target and explode, covering the guy with a cloud of pepper spray.
Then we saw a helicopter.
