Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2005 11:55 pm Post subject: Happy 4th of July everyone!!
Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy fourth!! Enjoy the fireworks!
I lit most of mine off last night, have some for tonight just to make sure I thoroughly piss my neighbors off...lol. I love living next to the Assistant D.A.
Tomorrow, I am going into Pittsburgh for the display by Zambelli Fireworks. My brother in law's company owns the tug boats that push the barges up and down the rivers all over the area. His boats always handle the firework barges every year so we get to sit right under the display (and get pelted with ash) It's quite an experience.
Take it easy everyone! BE SAFE!

Well have fun man.
I am planning to spend my Fourth alone and inebriated. Hopefully my room mate will get back from out of town and find me passed out on the staircase. That will be loads of excitement.
But seriously be careful everyone and enjoy the holiday responsibly. Make sure the designated driver drinks half the amount of what you do!
Happy 4th Guys
and to the international Modders, Happy Monday 4th... will it be tuesday for some?? well if you fall on that side of the international date line, same goes for you. _________________ XBOX v1.6

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July. I went with my family to watch the fireworks at Lakefront and everyting was fine until some drunk a-hole went to light a sparkler and ended up burning some girls weave. It was funny as hell, she didn't even know until he started smacking the hell out of her head trying to turn it off. I nearly pissed my pants.
The best part was that her boyfriend was there and beat the crap out of the guy for hitting her. Ahhh, only in Kissimmee. _________________

Enigma, sounds like good old American fun in action. Had a big party at the house Saturday and decided Sunday afternoon that a hair of the dog that bit me would remove my headache. Turned out it was a shaggy pooch. HAHA
I was able to see two cities fireworks right from my front yard, so I didn't end up having to go anywhere. It was quite the experience. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

My night was a long one.
Got to Pittsburgh around 6pm, hopped on the boat that was pulling three of the four barges into place and after putting the barges in place, we were able to just head over to the landing and chill out with drinks and food until the display started.
I have lots of video I took that I will convert some clips so I can upload to my server and you guys can stream.
Here's three quick pics.

Here are some nicer shots... when you are looking at the point (fountain) off to the right is a huge mountain (called Mt. Washington). It gives for some great views of the city.
Here are two more pics, one from the top of Mt. Washington on one of the overlooks. I'll try to get a shot from the west end overlook which is a lot further back and gets a bigger view of the city.
I always thought Pittsburgh was one of the prettier cities, especially at night.
