4th of July, Garden State Parkway

Tonight I traversed half the length of New Jersey, driving from Hamilton to my New York home, a total of 83 miles. We left Hamilton at about 8 p.m, and arrived home at 9:45.

On the way, we saw a total of 26 different fireworks displays from our highway’s eye view (first the New Jersey Turnpike, then the Garden State Parkway). We heard but did not see two more. Once in New York, in our own backyard, we saw two more and heard a third.

What a way to celebrate the 4th! Like the world was a fireworks display that we were riding through. Pretty damn thrilling (although I’m not sure it was all that safe for driving).

And thanks to Bruce for my post title.

Happy 4th of July

Knock yourselves out.
