4th of July

Who knew that we really needed to be warned about the danger of fireworks, and that we shouldn’t do anything that would lead to our hands getting blown off? Jean Pierre-Paul of the New York Football Giants showed what can happen when you don’t handle fireworks safely. Goodness. There were other incidents last year, too, but they’re too gruesome to recount. Be safe out there. My method is not having fireworks at all.

Of course, that didn’t stop the jokes I made (it’s how I got onto the subject). I was working on a shooting my mouth off joke, but never got it to the point where it sounded right – I’ll keep working on that one.

The weather in New England has been and should be great for the entire 4th weekend, at the cost of my lawn. No rain equals yellowing lawn. Most of the lawns in the neighborhood look like mine (fortunately), so no one is passing judgment. Water costs lots of money, so nobody seems to be keeping their lawn moisturized in this period of little rain. I’m sure that anytime I take days off this summer the rains will return, but for now I guess we should be happy for sunny days.

No USA theme in today’s podcast – just some great tunes. So listen in to Electronic, Ryley Walker, Elvis Presley, the Hudson Brothers, Sugar Pie DeSanto, the Rolling Stones, Graham Parker, the Rutles, Sleater-Kinney, Modest Mouse, Donovan, Siouxsie Sue, Corinne Bailey Rae, AC Reed, Sebadoh, and Conway Twitty.
