Last year on the Fourth it rained, and I wrote this very odd thing about watching the fireworks alone from the pedestrian bridge near my house.

This year looks like it may well be exactly the same. Most interesting to me? Last years odd piece strikes me far more like the sort of fancy I'd take to this year.

Jesse Helms has died. Wherever his next stop is, may he do less harm and find more joy.

I've talked about working on Gantt's campaign against him in NC almost (this blows my mind) 20 years ago now. You just never thought the guy would go away.

Wow.

I'm not spewing more vitriol, because there's not point now. I almost lost my voice over that man enough times when he was alive.

- Patty has a weekend off and so is in a town, so we got to talk for ages today online and she got to hear the recording I did of Cheek to Cheek (which wasn't even a song she was actually familiar with more than faintly) for her and will be able to download the long voice letter I did for her last night later. It was a good happy thing.

- The HP fandom (or at least my corner of it) is about people trying to be really smart in the face of the end of the world. The DW/TW fandom is about being trying to have damn good time in the face of the end of the world, because that reminds you of why you've got to save it.
