KEEP BREATHING!
Every year on July 4th (the day before Robin's birthday) our entire town fills with pyromaniacs. We usually escape in advance, but with both of us sick we stayed home. I taped up the inside of the doors in hopes of preventing the toxic stench from wafting in (the prevailing winds carry all the smoke on our street straight into our house). The tape job wasn't suffient. We were forced to run the gauntlet to get to a movie theater and breath fresh air until past midnight when it was safe to go home. The drive there was like a war zone, acrid smoke wafting everywhere. What a holiday. Get drunk and poison yourself. Very American. This morning Robin awoke to find this birthday card on the kitchen counter. We made it through another year.
