I'm like everyone else/ I like to sit around and gripe about how people are no damn good these days. The truth however, is that I don't really believe it.
I guess that's why I'm picky about the internet sites I frequent. Good friends that I don't even know what they look like in most cases.
The Grand illumination at Williamsburg yesterday is a good example. There were over 140,000 people in a 2 square mile area. I saw only 1 rude person and she was from New Jersey.
Imagine that, all those people and no pushing or insulting remarks or fights, crime etc. Just a lot of orderly (Even though Ye Olde Cider was flowing heavily) people enjoying the moment.
After the fireworks, a young man came up to me and asked if I had lost my phone. I had not, but he told me he found a blackberry and someone told him it was the fellows that was taking pictures.
So he was asking everyone who had a camera..I was impressed!
Anyway, here are a few of the people enjoying the season.

Oh...Notice in the 4th picture the authentic fire starter in the fellows hand. When I asked about it he said it was called a BIC. ;D
[cool] , Peter.
BIC's are still pretty good fire starters. :D ... and if you lose one it's not a big deal.
