No, I'm not describing the news today (although how did I get stuck working July 3?). I'm talking about the relative lack of explosions in my St. Paul neighborhood last night.
Typically a couple days before July 4 the fireworks are going off non-stop. It got even worse a few years ago when Gov. Jesse Ventura legalized some fireworks--supposedly the ones that don't fly or explode. People in my neighborhood took that as an invitation to open a free-fire zone.
Anyway for some reason last night all was quiet on the East-metro front. I wonder if that can last?
