rainy fourth

Our neighborhood is supposed to be having a huge block party today but it looks like it may be rained out. It's been raining since about 7:30 this morning and is forecast to rain all day.

The Vietnamese neighbors are rumored to have bought 100 lbs of meat for grilling and have a shipping crate full of fireworks. The Venezuelan neighbors said they were buying 50 lbs of meat and boy can they cook! I don't know what Carlos was planning on making today but I'm positive it will be delicioso! (If you recall, last year the Vietnamese people gave Carlos a shark they caught on a fishing trip in Florida and he made some spectacular empanadas.)

We'll see how this all turns out but it's not looking good right now.
