Foggy Fireworks.

Yesterday my friend S was aghast that I would not be seeing fireworks this 4th. I didn't really understand her reaction or my own nonchalance to fireworks. And then it hit me. I grew up in an area where fog was a legitimate reason for either not having fireworks or for having very bad fireworks. I did not grew up thinking fireworks were the biggest part of the day. Also, my experience with Chicago fireworks have not been overly pleasant. When it isn't too much work and too crowded, I do enjoy fireworks. I think I'll go see them later this summer, at Navy Pier.
