Greetings from OBIOland...aka...Shelby, Ohio. Loving life in this little town of around 10,000 souls. Tonight, the town had it's 4th of July fireworks display...though it is also linked to the annual Shelby Bicycle Festival....Shelby Bicycles being and actual bike manufacturing company here in town many many years ago. Anyhow....went to the fireworks with my friend Ashley, her two-year old daughter, Elaine, her step-brother, Jon, and two of her younger cousins, Sara and Justin. Once we got to the high school football field, we joined up with some more of Ashley's family.....her mom and step-dad, 3 of her aunts, a couple of her older cousins....I was welcomed into the fold like I had been a member of the family for years...they have heard quite a bit about me over the last 14 months or so....Ashley and I met at work and became good friends....even though there is a 22 and a half year difference in our ages (me being 44 and her going to be 22 in September).....we get along so freaking well....so much alike, so much in common.....AND NO...we are not dating.....that would be really ODD to say the least.
Anyhow....I recorded the fireworks on my Samsung Galaxy 2S smart phone...the video came out pretty darn good. If it had not been for the threat of rain (rained on and off all day....with rain and thunderstorms in the forecast up through Wednesday afternoon) I would have taken the digital camera and recorded the display in high def...but did not want to risk the camera getting damaged or ruined.
Here's a link to the video.....uploaded to YouTube.
