The sky was lit up as far as we could see. At 8:40 grandaughter said this fireworks show is the best ever (she lives in Anchorage AK). told her the show hasn't started yet, these are just families blowing up crap for their own amusement.

Everything that went off, we heard once from in front of us, the second time echoing off behind us. Also the first time I saw shaped explosions: geometric shapes, stars, peace symbols, smiley faces. Really amazing. -- Drew

I drank a cup of coffee right before I left to go over this house because I know we don't stay up this late. And I didn't drink enough to knock me out during the occasion like I would at a beep bash. So I'm lying back looking at these incredible fireworks and then she says put the chair away. It's time to go home. And I smile and kiss her and drive her home. Next year she will sleep late the day before and have some coffee when we leave.

Static flew from Australia for the gathering. I miss Greg. I have met people from all over the world based on the beep bash. Thank you physall. My eyes have been opened. Where were you? You never showed up. Please show up here. You are welcome. And this is the edit: I apologize to you and anyone else who wasn't there at the time. It was s a great experience and you guys might not have shown up yet, so obviously you're not at fault. But I'd like to invite you to gather. I'll try to create the most attractive experience possible. Edited by crazy July 6, 2022, 04:41:22 AM EDT Expand All History

Nor will it be my name combined with bash. It will pay homage to beep bash but it won't be the beep bash. And hopefully we will fly Rita in for it. I'll work towards being available. I'm always available but I'll work towards having a household that can host 30 people happily. And maybe I can pull btilly for this. Can I get a buy-in from other people on this idea?

Not quite as bad as termites but I still don't want them there. You can just see the wood that they chewed through. I just had my floor cut open for some plumbing work and the plumber pointed out that I got bugs and then I called in the home inspector and he agreed. Yes you got bugs. So now I have to call the pest company to handle the bugs. Oh I wish I had a basement.
