4th of July

LoC.  Theodor Horydczak, 4 July 1934. Fireworks, DC.
On this 4th of July in the time of COVID-19, I'm reflecting back on things missed this year. Yesterday the New York Times ran a fascinating photo essay of archival photos from past 4ths of July. Our 4th promises to be quiet this year.

Like many, we watched the filmed version of Hamilton last night on Disney Plus. In comparing the live performance viewed at the Kennedy Center some time ago to the one released by Disney, it remains a timely, powerful show. It is good millions can see it now from the comfort of our homes.
The Atlantic, 3 July 2020.
Have a safe 4th. Stay home if you can.
