Happy 4th of July

Today was a wonderfull 4th of July!

The weather was nice, and right before dark me and Bobi fired up the Vue and headed up to the Egret Blvd bridge over Highway 10 to see the fireworks at the Coon Rapids Carnival in the Park. When we saw some old people walking up to the bridge, we knew we were in the right place. When you see old peeps, you can't go wrong. There were a few other people parked up there as well. We had a pretty good view of the show, to. Plus there were lots of local people firing off there stash of quality Wisconsin unsafe and insane fireworks. No wussy fountains for these folks.

There was even a little backyard astronomy to be had tonight. Low in the west sky was a nice little sliver of a crescent moon, with the new moon being back on the 3rd. Tomorrow night should have a nice crescent with some earthshine...
