How do you make that point when you have to write in regular letters? “Very funny” could mean so my different things, it depends on your tone of voice and the expression on your face when you say those words. So reading them without the audible and visual clues is hard to figure that out.

It’s April Fools Day. If you play a prank on me, I might say, “Very funny.” But if I am not smiling when I say that, you had better watch out!

There are hundreds of thousands of people downtown for the all day festival and parade, then about 9:00 pm the symphony starts playing patriotic songs and the Chamber of Commerce hosts a nice 20 minute fireworks display.

But this year the weather was threatening. There have been tornado watches issued since about 5:00 pm, so we aren’t going to risk going downtown and having a problem with lightning or tornadoes. At least we bought a few fireworks at the local stand and can shoot a few in our yard to celebrate before the storm.
