So, 8:16 P /20:16 EDT ,,,,"
The television specials have begun (not watching) and I heard one BOOM, I guess from the Macy's start at 8PM, East Side.

Meanwhile, on the West Side (Hudson River, New Jersey view), it's still too bright for fireworks, being only 2 weeks since the Summer Solstice here, "longest day of the year" (astronomically). So.... I see one yacht and a nice sunset, which is an improvement, over both rain and wildfire-infused white skies, Welll... remembering all the combustion is to commemorate a history where there was a Battle for Independence from tyranny, monarchy, dictatorship, "taxation without representation", etc...

Wishing Independence again, from the hate and #disinformation, and the #true #freedom to live in liberty, with #justice. For all. /
