Happy Birthday America!

We started the holiday with me playing 18 at Cole Park and Stacy having breakfast with a neighbor. Then Stacy and I went to Nashville to watch the fireworks.
We had dinner at J Alexander's on West End Ave. I had the Rattlesnake Pasta and Stacy had the Chicken Finger appitizer. Neither could not finish what was served, not that is was not good, it was great. There was so much food, my pasta dish, was the size of a mixing bowl!
I also people watch, don't know what was more entertaining the fireworks or the way people dressed and conducted themselves. You can only step over so many passed out cowboys.
This looks like a lot of people, but this is still early. This was may be a quarter of the folks who showed up.
The Nashville Fire Dept's water cannon boat did doughnuts in the middle of the river spraying water in all directions.
Just chilling waiting for the show.Then the General Jackson showed up. Rumor had it for $80.00, you got dinner, cruise and a ringside seat for the show.

According to all the news networks, Nashville's show was second only to that of Philly's.
