A Norman Rockwell fireworks show

[matrixrefugee]

Just back from watching the fireworks/brass band concert over in Wilmington. I don't know of a better fireworks show in the area, and the folks in Wilmington take the Fourth very seriously in a good way: they make a whole three-day celebration out of it.

And whoever did their fireworks was really clever: about twenty minutes into the show, the fireworks just seemed to... stop, leaving the crowd (bigger than we've ever seen it) collectively scratching their heads... Then the lights came up on the bandstand and as the band struck up "Stars and Stripes Forever", a wild salvo of fireworks started up in mad earnest, lighting up the whole night sky! Awesomeness!!

Sounds very cool! Unfortunately, I'm TERRIFIED of fireworks. It's the oddest thing, but I'm afraid of the noise they make and have been since childhood. Hence, I have to leave before they are set off at our Canada Day celebrations.

Happy Fourth!

I'll admit, because of my veeeerrrrry sensitive hearing (I can hear dog whistles and bats, go figure), I'm not a fan of the loud noise from fireworks... but ooh, the pretty colors!!!
