American Holiday

Yesterday was Independance Day here in the good old US of A. For a change, I had the weekend off. Yes, all three days! I was planning on heading into San Francisco, but with the rush on to get everything finished for the weekend, I just couldn't manage it. And as I have an appointment on Monday that I can't miss, I thought maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea.

So I stayed at home and did geeky stuff. Like write code. Lots of it to date. I had a revelation as to how something could be done, and got stuck into it. I was interrupted last night by fireworks going off. Some people in my street had spent a lot of money. I went out and watched them for an hour or so.

They were still going at midnight right outside my bedroom window, and the rocket's red glare kept me awake for quite some time.
