July the Fourth!

Don't Mind Devil Duck.

Ah. Independence day. You know the day Americans celebrate the birth of their country by setting off fireworks, having a good old BBQ, or like this year going away for a three day weekend. Fun stuff!

Last year I had the great opportunity to see the fireworks display over Lake Union on top of the Swedish Cultural Center. The view is fantastic from there but I was able to get on the roof of the building with a few others. Now THAT was spectacular.

I also got a good view of Gas Works Park. The mass of people that go there for the fireworks display is ginormous. This year's Gasworks Park celebration almost didn't happen because of a lawsuit. The Colbert Report was entertained by the suit and the park itself and had something to say about it.

Have a fun and safe Fourth of July.
