Approaching the holiday weekend which means locking myself indoors and not coming out for anything. I hate fireworks, barbecue, and heat. It wasn't always this way. I used to only hate fireworks. The loud noises get to me. Call it a post-traumatic stress legacy or a reaction against the waste of money, but I've never seen the point, especially after my dad set himself on fire with a Roman Candle. No injury except burning up his polyester pantsuit which some might say was a favor. Even so, I've managed to injure myself with a stray spark from a sparkler. Yes, I've hurt myself with a sparkler. Really.
I learned to ski during one of these summer holidays. I haven't done that in a long time, gotten up in a snake-infested lake and tried to get a little isometric exercise. No, I'm content to stay on the edges of things. That's where I belong.

This reminds me of a Doors song.. "In the End." (The title, I should say.)
I won't be doing any celebrating either. I like having a day off to relax. That's about it.
It is very hard to celebrate independence while locked in chains.
I'm with you. Hell, just stop at Slow's To Go down the street and leave the BBQ pyrotechnics for soccer moms and dads.

As for movies, check out Black Death.
Nothing like seeing witches get back at the inquisitors.
Happy fourth--no need to by fireworks when everyone else has them is my thought. PTSD manifests in different ways, I think...
Michelle,
Too dry for fireworks down here in Texas...I beleieve there's a statewide ban on them this year. If I hear any of my neighbors shooting them off, I'll probably retaliate with my bow...a few well-placed arrows work wonders.
Hope you manage to have a good weekend, Darlin'. Take care!
