Post 4th letdown -"my rocket has fizzled"

All the Grands have gone home and the Daus, too. The LSW and I are empty-nesting again. Fortunately as I mentioned B/4, they are all close so we don't have to wait long to re-connect. This is good!!!!!!!!
We shot off the required number of costly (buy one get one free????) celebratory devices and ohhhhhed and ahhhhed appropriately. It was uneventful as far as any loss of life or even any decent maimings, which is good, too. I still sort of miss the olden days when a 4th wasn't fun without a few four foot deep craters in the lawn and someone's house getting an unespected visit by the local fire brigade. Times change.
Now the weathwer is absolutely BEAUTIFUL here in GOD'S COUNTRY (MINNESOTA)--72 degrees, light NW wind after last night's good rain. Low humidity and everyone seems happy enjoying a great Summer. We all feel sorry for those who live where the rivers rise, the ground shakes, the forests burn, and places where there are 11 year droughts. Please don't all move here!!!
