Last night I went to see fireworks in Quakertown, Pennsylvania with Alissa, Linda and Angie. We drove into town but the amount of traffic was preventing us from getting to the park in time for the show. So we pulled in to the property of a house downtown which appeared to have a parking lot in its back yard. So we pulled out the blanket, placed it on the pavement, and sat down. It ended up being a pretty good show.
It had been a long time since I had seen new fireworks. I was used to your typical ones, even the ones that change color. I had seen all the shapes before, including hearts, the planet Saturn and five-pointed starts. I had always liked the ones that when they explode, spiral downwards and have that shreiking noise. But last night I saw ones that split into a million sparkling gold bits, then exploded with color, then split into a million more sparkling bits and exploded with color again. Very cool.
