At 3:30 today, I sold my Mazda. When I bought it, it had 6,000 miles on it. When I sold it, it had 192,000 miles. I think I got my money's worth.
Here is my car as it leaves Manhattan for the last time. I cried a little bit.
Did you see the moon tonight? It was big and orange and more beautiful than any firework display.
The guy who lives across the street from my mom has a huge fireworks display on the 3rd every year. Thousands of people come from all over and cram into Mom's yard, the streets and the neighborhood park.
The fireworks lit up the sky.
The rocket's red glare,
the bombs bursting in air!
And, there's cake.
