Nerd Notes

There were fireworks today on the lake. Two towns, one at the head of the lake, the other a few miles up, had competing fireworks displays. The light show was pretty impressive. The booms, though... they exploded and then rolled around the mountains, traveling up and around the valley, smoke wafting over the water. With the rolling explosions from different towns, I couldn't help imagining that I was hearing the sound of cannon from the French and Indian War.
