Didn't get enough fireworks last night?
My friend russkal found this totally cool interactive fireworks display. Click around the screen to create your very own personalized celebration.
Last night was loud and smokey and long, but maybe just a little less so than in years past. Folks over here really love their fireworks, but you have to get a permit ahead of time and there's a limit to how many you can buy. I think that has really cut back on the madness, but there are still plenty of people who must be pooling their resources because I'm pretty sure that a lot of the groups I was aware of were blowing up ten times the legal limit.
Buddy (the old, deaf poi dog) slept through it all. Lance was a little nervous, but not so much that I had to give him tranquilizers. He stuck so close to me that he kept tripping me, but wasn't shaking and quivering & climbing the walls the way that Buddy used to. Other than the few leftovers that will be popped off in the next few days, we shouldn't have to put up with any more fireworks until 4th of July.
We've all got a clean slate today. Time to start making 2007 the best that it can be! Peace, love and prosperity to you all in the new year!

Hou'oli Makahiki Hou, my friends!
May the new year bring you great joy. May you swim in oceans of blessings.
********Skeet's recipe for a joyous life*********
Revel in beauty
Even if you have to pay for it
Celebrate new life
While honoring the memory of those who have enriched your own
When life gives you the wrong end of things
Bandage your hurts and move on
Build new things
And add color to your world
Don't turn you back on strangers, even if they're not like you
Embrace silliness
But not at the expense of another's dignity
Avoid the glitz
But seize life's rich bounty
Perhaps most of all in these troubled times, find serenity
May 2007 bring the best that life has to offer to your humble abode
From my heart to yours,
skeet
Addendum: I got a lot of emails & PMs asking various questions about the photos. I've posted explanations here.
