Fireworks on September 1

[mrdreamjeans]

At 7:30am, the fireworks began. A Saturday morning, at 7:30am. Am I missing some cultural reference or am I justified in being a tad annoyed? It's been 30 minutes of cock-a-doodle-doo's, barking dogs and popping explosive sounds somewhere in the neighborhood. What a way to be awakened!

Wait! Perhaps, the fireworks are in celebration of a rarely seen phenomenon ... I mowed a lawn yesterday for the first time since I was 12 years old! Nah ... At most that deserves applause:)

Maybe it's because the City of Houston joined the 21st century and enacted a smoking ban in bars and restaurants which began at midnight ... I don't think so ...

Are the fireworks in honor of the kick-off for the football season? I'm headed to College Station this afternoon to attend the Texas A&M-Montana State football game with my sister, brother and niece. Unlikely.

Could it be for my vocal coaching in Houston tomorrow at 4pm? That's something to cheer about, but still ...

Has anyone seen my "Man of La Mancha" script and score from 2004? After searching for hours yesterday, finding it would be something to celebrate!!

The fireworks have stopped after 45 minutes, though the neighborhood rooster continues to crow. I'm going back to bed! Is there is a legit reason as to why there are fireworks on September 1 at the butt crack of dawn? I'd like to know .. in about two hours ...

(Edit: As I paid the monthly fee for my storage unit about 11am, I casually mentioned to the ladies who work there about the fireworks, the firecracker sounds, early this morning. They replied, "Hon, it's the beginning of dove season. Those were rifle shots you were hearing." At 7:30am? Geez ... Remember, I live right downtown!)

Haha! The photo of me with the Brown Twins was taken in 2005. They live in the Grosvenor Suites on Nob Hill. It's the property where many of the touring actors stay when they are playing San Francisco. They are a hoot! One day I got on the elevator with them dressed in matching cowgirl outfits in red & white, little white cowboy hats perched on their wigs. It certainly made my day. They were very flirtatious with me during the whole time I stayed in the hotel:) They are SF legends!

How fun - thanks for the refresher ! I hadn't known their name ( I suppose they have individual first names ... but does it really matter ? - LOL) If I were teaching in the SF area, I'd assign the design class a project to come up with outfits for the twins, wigs and all.

And they would love that! They are very clear about being SF landmarks, have management and everything. I was told I could use the photo of us for non-commercial purposes only:)
