Ka BOOM

From our Balcony at North Beach. The fireworks went on for a half hour and were spectacular. It really brings out the "kid" in you except we never had fireworks this good when I was growing up. Mostly we had cherry bombs and ash-cans and blew up all sorts of things. There were roman candles and the occasional bottle rocket. If we did now, what we did then, I would be in Jail. We never blew up mailboxes or anything we thought could be dangerous to others (we were wrong at times) but it was more participatory and less voyeuristic that what passes for fireworks today. but then again, in today's world...most things are watched rather than done.
