the 4th ... my 4th, back in the BA

my first 4th of july in the BA (and sans a hot dog!) ... a l'il different from the SD events & extravaganzas ... in SD, i lived in a spot where i could walk or drive no more than 5-15 minutes and see several fireworks shows ... qualcomm, sea world, san diego bay ... and some random little ones sprinkled nearby.

this year, my 4th was in the BA ... hung out with my friend, t, and her co-workers and friends at her company's annual 4th of july celebration. she works in alameda. they have an awesome, choice location to watch the fireworks display at jack london square.

unfortunately, the 2007 show ...

yup ... canceled.

so ... with the view just before sunset

we knew already we would,
after sunset,
stare off into the distance,
into another county,
across a body of water,
beyond the bay bridge

ahhhhh ... oooooo ... wow

happy 4th of july

peace.
