* * * * * Scaring 'da birds It's been seven years [1] since last I attended a Fourth of July party with my friend C, and once again, I'm at his house to help scare the local bird population [2]. Fortunately this time, there was no big boom [3], but as a precaution, C moved the festivities to the back yard, next to the pool. [Like, these are totally legit!] [4] [5] [Houston, we have liftoff] [6] [7] [Fireworks by the pool] [8] [9] [Ooooooh] [10] [11] [It's okay, the pool won't catch on fire] [12] [13] [Oops, did we cross the streams?] [14] [15] [Fire in the hole!] [16] [17] [1] gopher://gopher.conman.org/0Phlog:2003/07/04.2 [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_scarer [3] https://boston.conman.org/2003/07/04/p100049.jpg [4] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040004.jpg [5] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040004.jpg [6] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040016.jpg [7] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040016.jpg [8] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040017.jpg [9] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040017.jpg [10] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040021.jpg [11] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040021.jpg [12] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040046.jpg [13] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040046.jpg [14] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040053.jpg [15] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040053.jpg [16] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/thumb.p7040060.jpg [17] gopher://gopher.conman.org/IPhlog:2010/07/04/p7040060.jpg Email Sean Conner at sean@conman.org .
