Last Night, San Diego Accidentally Set Off All Its Fourth Of July Fireworks at Once

Yep.
Luckily, we have a number of different entities (towns, municipalities, Sea World) who also have fireworks displays. We got to see about three from our vantage point last night. But this one - for downtown SD - is the biggest. I feel awful for the company that puts on the display- can you imagine being responsible for that? But I feel worse for all the people who traveled from all over to stay here and see the show. It was overcast and drizzly two days, and then the fireworks show was a bust. They’re all going home to tell everyone how much San Diego sucks.
Which, in the end is fine- so much of our overpopulation comes from vacationers who fell in love with our climate. Never mind. This was the best thing ever.
