Sounds like a good plan. I still don't know about the block party thing or whether I'd go if it is.

@DianneN It's simply best to err on the side of caution right now.

@TheHorse Good man, always been my struggle going from work mode to party mode. There is a adjustment period but some are so good at it. I am the friend that says stop being in work mode we have trouble to create.

@crossbones27 When I'm playing music, I'm in "professional" mode. Sort of. If an audience member likes me and buys me a shot, I'll drink it. I think everyone likes to feel they're a part of a "happening." I can get a tad rowdy verbally, but I try to keep it all positive. High fives at the end, and all that. Practically speaking, I think it helps the band.

Happy 4th! We took a nice walk and will be barbequing some veggie burgers and vegetable skewers later--but that is about it--a lazy day for me I think--

Enjoy it! I MAY take Horse Jr. to the pool. But that will probably be my most "social" moment.

Ironically, by everybody shutting down their big 4th of July celebrations and fireworks and festivals, it ended up being a noisier holiday than usual, as it felt like every single American went out and spent their entire stimulus checks to buy fireworks to set off in their yards and streets. It sounded like a war zone out there last night!

I saw some pretty elaborate "home grown" fireworks displays along Hwy 4 on my way home from my friends' house.

@TheHorse I will admit, there were some pretty amazing "home grown" fireworks going on out in the neighborhoods.

@moffittjc Yep. I was impressed. But I was less impressed when my friend told me there were about 30 small fires in his town (Antioch CA) that night. The grass is very dry here.

@just4him I actually had a pretty exciting 4th of July. I swam with Horse Jr. and then went to a friend's house (actually a couple) and ate hamburgers.

I actually fondly remember the days of Black Cats and cherry bombs and M-80s. But I'm a bit old for that now. And I still have ten fingers and want to keep it that way.

Alas, it us for most of us Americans too. I'm too old to care about fireworks. But I like watching happy families be together. This evening, I will probably work on stereo gear.

We went to my great-aunt's Saturday afternoon. Not much of the family shows up on the fourth. I sat by her poll and ate some homemade strawberry ice cream. Saturday night I did hear fireworks. Lily (my cat) wasn't afraid. I think she watch some of it.

That must be unusual to see quiet streets in SF. I don't drive around that much so I haven't a clue what anyone is doing but I do know that my friends and I are all staying home I plan to be completely lazy today, not doin a thing .... well, my fingers are gettin plenty of exercise but that's about it.
