Independence Day
Jul. 4th, 2025 06:04 pmA number of people were advocating not doing anything celebratory today. As a protest, that seems ineffectual - would anybody know I am mostly sitting at home alone? I was in Boston when there was a small protest in Lexington, so I missed that. In a not protesting way, this morning I was (in charge of) a group of bellringers at the Old North Church (plus a bunch of non-ringing relatives that I didn't expect, all of whom were well-behaved). Then three of us consumed the Entenmann's snack cakes with blueberries and strawberries I had brought as a seasonal treat, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
choco_frosh pondered on non-factory cake recipes, and we discussed trifle.
There is a large screen live showing of the Pops concert at Robbins Park in Arlington starting fairly soon, but I don't know where one is supposed to park (my local bus isn't running on the holiday) and I am already covered in bug bites from an hour walking in Greenfield on Wednesday (possibly more on that later). I probably will stay home and listen to the concert on the radio and not see any fireworks.
Edit
Not on the radio this year. What the heck?
