The fourth is a little scary here. Some people have been to Mexico and or Wyoming and brought back some bottle rockets.
In the suburbs they are shot into the air and quite possibly on to the roofs of houses. This is a pretty scary prospect. We stayed home with our hose ready.
I decided to cook and watch TV on the Fourth.
I started watching Wimbledon tennis. Nadal is a new force in the sport. There were some pretty amazing shots. They were not on the big three broadcast which collected and time swapped to later in the day so that they could get in their morning shows. (It was a Friday)
I watched a little Nascar. It was a nightime version of the Daytona 500.. only shorter to get the race in before the fireworks. Very good race and on a track that is appropriate for Nascar. It is long enough and wide enough to go three wide. The winner has Tim Helden, pulling the win for the Farm Bureau.
We watched the movie "Vantage Point." It hooks you with feeding you a little more information each time it tells the story. It is a president assassination plot that has a number of kinks and side stories to it. Forrest Whittaker and Dennis Quaid do great role in the lead. The story takes place in Spain. There is color all over this movie. It was a great red box rent.Sue says that it is a sharable..
I watched a little of the new Lynard Skynyrd on HD showcase. They were having a difficult time getting as much audience participation as they wanted. I was pleased with their rendition of Three Steps.
I also watched the PBS version of the celebration in Washington D.C. with Heuy Lewis and the news. There was also a guy that came from the idol show. He insisted on singing a Bruce Sprinsteen number in Bruce Springsteen style... so what is it with Idol winners.. They should be doing their own style by now... hummm
Lots of great singers on this show too. Staging was a little weird.
Cooking... I made up two chickens in Morengo style.. and yes.. two peach cobblers. Sue asked me,"Did you make it Heather style (cake) or Linzi style (biscuit)? I returned..
"If you were making it what would you do?"
She replied.. "I would make one of each."
I said,"You got it.."
Have a great post 4th.

Aloha 'trick! When we watched Vantage Point, I kept laughing, because at least they got good value on their explosive special effects. I really liked that movie, each time you saw it from a different person's perspective and you saw a little bit more... I also liked how they controlled all sorts of things with their mobile phones! ::laugh::
