Good morning everybody!

I was just over at Life Is Not One Big Joke checking out a video that Misty put together. If you get a chance, like I finally did, check it out.

So, how was your Fourth of July holiday? Mine was nice and quiet. With the exception of the fireworks going off throughout the neighborhood. And some good ones at that. Why bother going downtown to a crowded park to watch bad fireworks when you can sit on the patio, have a cigar and a cold soda, and watch some good fireworks that your neighbor is shooting off.

Besides, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer just wants the people with money to come downtown and watch fireworks. And the parking is a hassle, too. And since I am on the subject, if you are ever in Orlando on vacation and you are driving, watch out where you park! You will either get a parking ticket, or a towing company will tow your car. And what is worse is that the police officer or the tow truck driver will wait until you leave your vehicle. Then they will issue you a citation,or they will tow the vehicle. Either way, you wind up having to pay a fine, towing fee, or both. And it seems like it has gotten worse since that son-of-a-bitch has been in office. Just like everything else in this sorry excuse for a city.

Getting back to fireworks. I work at a theme park on the weekend. And every night, there is a fireworks display put on before closing. So for me, I do not get excited about fireworks as I used to. Although I still enjoy watching fireworks when I get a chance. And in my neighborhood, we have some real pyros here. And those pyros love the fireworks! Just like those characters from SCTV would say, "That blew up real good!"

Some of the fireworks the neighbors shoot off are just as good, if not better, than what you would see downtown. And you don't have to pay $5.00 dollars or more for a beer. Or have to listen to a mayor who looks like a used car salesman welcoming you to the festivities.

I hope you all had a great, and safe, Fourth of July. And now if you excuse me, I am going to cook breakfast. Watching the fireworks last night made me work up an appetite.

Hey! It's a tough job. But somebody has to do it!

So. How do you want your eggs?
