To be honest, small towns are my favorite places to celebrate the 4th of July. You drive down to the high school parking lot (or middle school if they’ve only got the one) around 8:55 PM. Then you sit and wait 20 minutes or go mingle for 20 minutes if you’re in the mood for it that night. You get 1 or 2 minutes of wind up where they’re still trying to figure out how everything works, and then 10 minutes of the big stuff. A 20 second finale, and then you just crank the car up and drive home.
And if you were the mingling type then you’d have found out about all the new medications Cindy Peterson is taking now and also you’d know that Gina and Henry got remarried back in March.
I have a lot of halcyon memories of 4th celebrations in smalltown midwest too but more because it was a night to get drunk and get laid. Now I’m sober and basically celibate and I legit didn’t watch the fireworks last night. Weird how time switches things around on you.
