Saw a few of those displays. The only thing more amazing than the shear volume of fireworks was the smoke that hung in the lower areas. Lots of folks reaching for the respirators and heading for the ER's.Nords said:Hawaii's Chinese culture makes a great excuse for the enthusiastic application of tons/$$MM of fireworks. At least the 4th isn't as bad as New Year's Eve (or Chinese New Year) but it'll get smoky. People are expected to buy a $25 permit for "authorized" explosives but there's always a few entrepreneurs. So the celebrating has already begun in our neighborhood, especially after midnight.
There might be a small south shore swell next week, so we'll join the crowds for that.
Otherwise we'll laze around the house on the 4th listening to the detonations and then we'll haul the whole family down to Ford Island (in the middle of Pearl Harbor). We'll set our beach chairs on the edge of the channel and then we'll watch the Aloha Tower fireworks first, next the Hickam AFB display, and finally Pearl Harbor's blowout. Then we'll enjoy the "amateur" displays on the way home... to sleep with earplugs.

BUM said:Sat - Monster flea market at the aerodrome. Good place for DW to buy some silly goo-goos and gaa-ggas. I'll be dickering for woodworking supplies and keeping an eye out for Jeep stuff. BBQ Salmon fillets and dinner (for 2) on the deck.
Sun - No plans except chase DW around.
Mon- BBQ with beer and all the trimmings at SIL's
THE FLAG IS UP!

Flags tend to flap around like wet noodles.
