Ah, the 4th of July.... was days ago....

I visited New York and the family for the weekend and half of the week until the 4th of July. It was good to see family including Aunts/Uncles/Grandparents I only get to see a couple of times a year.

We did the usual, a lot of relaxing, beaching, boating etc. I waterskied a couple times and wish I could have more. Waterskiing is a great outdoor sport for it's utter pointlessness. Hikers, bikers, canoers, etc. all use their sports to travel and have historic adventurous roots. Organized sports develop teamwork and strategy. Waterskiing is just the sheer glory of racing around getting dragged behind a boat. Bliss.

We also checked out the Sandy Creek County Fair. An event for the highly cultured, the demolition derby was awesome as always:




Carnage! I think this was following the firefighters righting a flipped car. The flipped car continued in the demolition heat like a champ.

Very nice...I was starting to think you'd abandoned this blog, lol. As for your comments on mine, I didn't understand the one about engineering (obviously) and yes, that particular goal was accomplished while in Spain. ;)
