 | | Lime Ridge: Watch Fireworks Here |
Just like last year, my friends and I spent our July 4th evening atop a great vantage point at Lime Ridge (between Concord and Walnut Creek). From there we can see firework displays of over a dozen cities, including Oakland's fireworks, if you look closely. It's a great place to watch the close of Independence Day, and the crowd is small and manageable. And except for rattlesnakes (which we still have not seen), it's quite a safe place.

Before sunset, we enjoyed a potluck barbecue, courtesy of John B.! It wouldn't be a party without John, Mitsuo (sp?), Dale, Hideo (sp?), Edmond, Norbert, Russell, and all the rest. We had our regular quirky conversation, this time about straight/gay interaction, the sex drives of men vs. women, and lastly, Sushi models. See the photo below. I haven't had time to research this new fad, but food service just keeps getting more and more interesting, doesn't it! Now, what if this lady suddenly had to sneeze, or what if she had diarrhea? Or body ringworm?

As I mentioned last year, San Francisco's fireworks in the Marina district have fallen out of favor in my humble opinion. Too many drunks, drug addicts, and riffraff tend to spoil the fun. If you were there last year or the year before, you must have seen the dangerous and irresponsible behavior of these disreputable persons. Some of them were launching their own fireworks directly into the crowd of parents, children, and tourists.
