oh bummer. I was hoping to see them tonight. Why would they celebrate the 3rd if today is the 4th?

well perhaps we all misread and let us hope so because there were about say 2 minutes of fireworks last night
not even enough to set off the horns in the parking lot in the Jaragua
or scare my dog
really
it is the 233 birthday of the USA

and I have heard Dominican fireworks set off those alarms because of events such as

HEY-- IT's THURSDAY! LET's PARTY DOWN!

Have we learn nothing?
