Off to the Rose Bowl with about 30 friends for 4th of July fireworks. It is the largest fireworks show in the West and synchronized to music. A day to celebrate the freedoms we have, and the freedom many of us use to continue to expose the underbelly of Armstrongism!
I remember the fireworks at the Rose Bowl. We students used to sit out on the hillsides NW of the campus and watch them. We missed a lot that was hidden in the stadium, but we saw the spectacular aerial stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe never could afford to go see the show. Anybody paying two to three tithes was lucky to be able to eat anything.
People still sit on the hillsides and tailgate on the golf course and lawns. The inside show is $13.00. Which isn't bad,however, if you get a drink it is 5.00 for soda or water, kettle corn is 8.00 a bag, beer is 8.00, a tri-tip sandwich is 8.00. It is amazing to see large families sit there and drop 75.00 for food and drinks for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of a business where families of the recently and cremated departed would have a picnic celebration of the person's life and then shoot them off in a huge firework at sunset.
ReplyDeleteI'd call it..."Out with a bang."
:)
I saw a news report where one family actually did this, sending some of their departed loved one's ashes aloft on fireworks.
ReplyDeleteMakes as much sense as some practices do.
