Wow, 3,800 bangs must have been something. I stood on the deck for a couple of minutes and watched the ones over town. Rich neighbor from Merrill Lynch across the road had a ton of illegal ones and kept me up late. I BBQed some ribs and boiled corn on the cob which turned out great but no room left for the watermelon. Heat advisory again today so I'll have to do my outside work early.

Last night we walked down to the bay from Bob's house (1/2 a block) and stood on the grass at waters edge. I kept saying we would be able to see 3 displays at least from that spot. We saw 4 different fireworks displays. Oakland, San Mateo, and what I think was Palo Alto and San Francisco. The San Francisco Chronical sponsored theirs and sunk 100k into it so of course that one was most spectacular. Oakland was not too shabby either. From our vantage point the SF fireworks exploded right above the bay bridge. The bay bridge was all lit up so it was pretty exceptional. We had a nice location with just local families watching. No crowds.
