Today is Fourth of July. People is celebrating in many different ways. Some going out dinner; some making a BBQ; some hiding somewhere to burn some fireworks.
One of the curious things where I live is that it is legal to sell fireworks, so people can buy them, but it’s illegal to burn them! In other words, they allow you to buy, but not to use. I’m still trying to understand the logic of that.
In any case, people still burn fireworks in the streets, and then run to hide before the police arrive! I guess there is an element of excitement on that, which adds to the whole in the celebration.
In our case, we will be going to another city in the mountains that has a fame of having great fireworks at night, after a whole day of activities in the street during the day. So we will be spending the whole day there, to then watch the fireworks at night. After that it will be a couple of hour waiting for the traffic to reduce in size with all the people that should be there too. Most probably we will be coming back to Denver in the early hours on July 05.
Another thing that will be interesting for me is that I will have the opportunity to observe people during the day at the many activities the city will be offering, and then at night at the time of watching the fireworks. It is always interesting to see how people react in so many different ways to the same stimulus they are confronted with. I’m sure I’ll have the chance to get many pictures and comments to present here about all of that. Human behavior is just fascinating for me! LOL
Hey, many people call me Spock, did you know? I guess is the way I am by being an Aspie.
The important thing is to have fun in a healthy way today, and collect many good memories to remember in the future.
So I hope you people reading this blog have a wonderful Fourth of July, and get the opportunity to relax from all the stress daily life might give you.
Have fun!!
