Fourth of July in California is weird.

[centauress]

California is weird; there are celebrations, but few of them. Towns generally avoid them because they draw crowds. None of the seaside towns do really anything at all for fear of being swamped. There is a display - apparently it was long this year - in Scotts Valley, about two hills over, so we could hear it but not see it

In Arizona the celebrations are bombastic, but no one sees them, because it is 120 degrees, so everyone stays home.
