First of all My embarressed apologies regarding my reminder last week
Not only did I think all day Thursday that it was Friday and hence posted my messages a day early but I completely (in the haste to get the message up there) forgot that Friday was indeed July the Fourth when the whole nation here goes on a celebratory binge to commemorate their independance from all that means so much to me.
Also we had already arranged to be out most of the evening anyway to watch our neighbouring town's firework display. So I expect many other regular chatters
from this side of the border were doing likewise (and Roger Guinn in Roswell NM was cursing the rude entourage with Merle Haggard (see his Newsgroup posting for details).
In the event our local extravaganza was rather a flop and compared very poorly with the display we watched with Roger in Roswell last year
So this week or rather tonight (yes it is Friday) I expect a bumper turn-out at 9PM EDT at the usual place

I have no commercial interest in fireworks,Roswell or Merle Haggard for that matter
