It just now became the Forth of July™ and earlier this evening
(which was technically yesterday, Wednesday, July 3rd)
some people were illegally lighting off fireworks already.
I guess as a random quality test of the munitions they've aquired.
So to them,
and to you,
I wish you a happy and safe National Blow Stuff Up Day!
And for the curious,
the above image was taken by me 21 years ago.
Yikes!
And it was 13 years ago when my hair nearly caught on fire,
so when I say “be safe,”
I mean it.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
