Fireworks

I don't know what the law is in Oregon on fireworks, but I have never heard so many bangs leading up to the 4th of July in my life. These people are either terribly patriotic or just love blowing shit up. You'd think that the South would have these dirty hippies beat on patriotism (phony or otherwise) and blowing shit up, but you'd be wrong. It's like Beirut outside my window.

Tonight I rode down to the grocery store to pick up a few things and stopped off for coffee on my way. I've already racked up 38 miles, so I'm well on my way to beating June's final mileage tally. We shall see.

I decide that in the spirit of giving up stuff, I'd give up Diet Coke (and all colas) for the month of July. I tend to drink about 4 cans a day, so for me this is tougher than it sounds. I'm sticking strictly to water at home and anything but cola when I'm dining out.

I recommend sweet tea. I gave up sodas a while back and it's been a good replacement. Although, I have to admit tonight I was really craving a Sundrop!
