I know! I know! It's fireworks on the Fourth - not rainbows, but, hey! the 4th of July is just another day in NZ. After all, they still celebrate the Queen's birthday here. What's so great about all that independence BS?Speaking of independence...are we all celebrating because Scooter doesn't have to spend any time in jail? No use trying to keep the pardon hush-hush. There it was under a fairly large headline on page B3 of The Dominion Post July 4 edition. Of course, that tidbit was way overshadowed by news of the British bombings and the Aussie connection.
Are those protesters still up on the PO corner, or have they given up? I just read Frank Rich's The Greatest Story Ever Sold. Too bad we've already bought and paid for that. In fact, we're still paying.

It is school holiday so many Kiwis are headed for warmer climes for a week or so, and just like in the States, the malls and movie theaters are clogged with teenagers.
The fireworks should be the best ever (aren't they always?), and what could be better than a country that gives you a day off in the middle of the week to celebrate its birthday?
