Fireworks!

[fabrisse]

The night was exceptionally clear and pleasantly cool. The breeze actually brought the smell of the fireworks toward us intermittently, and, for some reason, tonight was the first night I could recognize that I was seeing the fireworks well before I heard them. That just over a mile of distance is enough to notice that the speed of sound is significantly slower than the speed of light.

I hope you all got to watch your local display, or my local display on TV.
