For another year at least. Last night Chase Bank sponsored a truly spectacular fireworks display over Lake Union, perhaps to reassure Seattle that they are at least as civic-minded as the late WaMu. (Now if they will just think about renewing that office lease agreement with SAM...)
Today an acquaintance reported on a conversation with "the most pessimistic person you can imagine," who ranted about what a waste of money a fireworks display represents. We agreed fireworks are a luxury we can handle - we may even deserve the show!
As usual, people in this building have the luxury of watching from the front porch, so to speak. I and Z made a delicious dinner for me and one of my neighbors, and we enjoyed a lovely gift bottle of bubbly (a thank-you for loaning out extra parking places.) After making sure her cat and mine had dark quiet places to feel safe, we moved to the neighbor's deck, because her view of the lake is just a bit wider than mine.
Fireworks here don't start until 10:15, because the sun doesn't set until well after 9 p.m.
