Glad the 4th is over

I have to say that after spending 5.5yrs in Italy with all their fireworks every night in the summer and 3hrs long on New Year's Eve, I am over any excitement that the 4th gave me as a kid.
All the noise and smell of gun smoke is only too real and makes me think of my fellow Vets who may be suffering with PTSD during all this!
Today is the fifth and I am expecting my FIOS installers. I am sick to death of various hassles I have had with the internet and am finally going fiber today!
About time! I built fiber optic systems in the Navy!
