Guilt

Yes, I'm feeling a bit of it as I had promised to post about the Fourth of July.  The most I have the energy to say about it is that it was fun, hectic, and managed to include a massive thunderstorm right in the midst of parade time.

None of the celebrations were called off, even with the storm, and everyone seemed to take all the lightning and thunder without much of a thought of safety.

As you have seen, I've included a couple of my favorite pictures.
