It’s been a somewhat relaxing day, not unlike the previous two years with many things out of regular operation.

Around 7:15 PM, the “Pops & Booms” concert began with someone driving through the high school parking lot tossing out firecrackers along the way. There’s been an occasional “boom” every ten minutes or so that’s kept Chief and Erma wedged by my deck chair and Bailey and Harrigan under my bed. Of course, I’m guessing these concerts will continue for several nights.

Research has been slow. I’ve enjoyed listening to the McCullough TRUMAN audiobook. I’ve just over 47 hours remaining and I’ve arrived at the wedding of Harry and Bess Truman.

I shall probably be on the deck until late, enjoying the comfortable and pleasant weather. I may turn on the movie musical, 1776, or some other fun film or documentary. Yes, documentaries are FUN!
