FIREWORKS

The Pittsburgh fireworks at the Point were spectacular last evening. I had a very good seat on the Allehgeny River at the end of Mazeroski Way. I parked right across from the ballpark and only had to walk 2 blocks. Pyrotecnico from New Castle put on a great show. I was happy that Pittsburgh brought them in instead of Zambelli's whom they normally use. Don't get me wrong, I like Zambelli's but it is hard for anyone else to get a break in this area because of Z's reputation. Pyrotecnico did not disappoint...

I was amazed at the amount of young girls (and some women) in high heels! What is wrong with their heads? They looked as bad as all the fat people in tight clothing! It was an outdoor activity, not a ballroom dance! And, I might add, the end of a long, sunny day of racing at the Three Rivers Regatta.

Another high light of the festivities was the performance of Three Dog Night. I have always been a fan of them and they drew quite a crowd at the stage across from the Hilton. Unfortunately, I did not get to see them do OLD FASHIONED LOVE SONG, one of my all time favorites.
