Ok all you lotters in the USA, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY Oh, as for those of you not of the USA I hope you are having a fantastic Friday. I just had to post this video I created in October of 2010, it is one of the rare occasions when the really big flag was flown and I was still in my early 60s and liked to scuttle about my city whenever I could.

@rebelann You have to go out of the neighborhood to see some. Too many tall trees here to see any.

Thank you. I hope you'll have lots of fun today and get to see fireworks somewhere other than in your neighborhood. Gunfire Good grief, I sure do hope not.

I hope that you had a nice 4th of July weekend. We rested all weekend to make up for losing so much sleep last week with the trip to TX.

@rebelann Yes! We had more here in the country this year than ever before---even New Year's Eve. Sad

The weekend days were wonderful but I could've done without all those fireworks at night.

Happy 4th of July to you. It's the hottest day of this summer here, far too hot to be comfortable, but tomorrow we get thunderstorms. I am going to check your video.

Thank you. We usually get the really hot weather in June but they do predict over 40c tomorrow. You will probably get the worst of it due to the humidity there, here it will be very low so not as bad

That does make it easier to withstand the high temperatures. I use ice packs I have in my freezer to help me stay cooler.

This is the holiday I hate. My Rufus pup will suffer even though Vet meds will fog his brain.

@rebelann There has been distant noise this morning. Rufus is on high alert; he refuses to chew a 'busy bone'.

Happy 4th to you. Hope you don't get a lot of loud fireworks to scare Roscoe. That is a big flag right enough

Thank you, so far it seems quiet but who knows who'll be the fool around here I've only seen that flag 4 times since 2010;.

I wish I knew. I get the impression it has something to do with the price of those large flags.

@rebelann Why is that? I thought there would be big flags every where on just about every building and in every public place

Happy belated July 4th to you, Roscoe and Tuffy! Ohhhh, those big gigantic flags look amazing. The only one I can think of locally is in the next county over as we pass it while on the freeway.

A belated 4th of July to you & I hope you had a great time. We have fireworks inthe weeks leading up to Bonfire night & for the New Year. I think eventually it will be replaced by drone shows which are very clever. My cousin is involved with the new Years fireworks in London but they are starting to use drones too. Whilst being pretty I don't like the big booming noisy fireworks.

I've seen one in New Mexico at a RV dealership but other than that I haven't seen any big ones.
