Fireworks and Falafel


Last night I saw the most amazing fireworks display I'd ever seen. We had to have been maybe a hundred feet from where they were being shot off, making the temporary light that much greater and more dramatic. They may be dangerous, anti-environmental, and arguably the artistic equivalent of war-mongering, but man do they make for a good show.

To make for an awkward juxtaposition, on Sunday I'm leaving for another country. I'm going to be in Israel for the next month or so. It's a little weird to be so wrapped up in the red, white and hulla-blue today and skip town tomorrow. But I suppose that's just another expression of independence.

Happy Fourth!
