We're taking the Cobra to go visit some friends in the north 'burbs. In chronological order: blow into town and accept adulation from all the onlookers (No, no, for the car), drink Bloody Mary's, eat donuts, watch the parade, smoke a cigar, maybe have a nap, go look for some lunch, maybe have another Bloody Mary, have dinner, with shooting fireworks possibly being interspersed among the foregoing, although the cops started hanging around "our" corner five or so years ago and they put the kibosh on the big stuff. After dinner, go shoot fireworks with a bunch of old guys like me. Seems my tastes haven't changed since I was sixteen! July 4th is better than all the other holidays together.
