As I sit here facing my computer this hour after midnight, it has become totally quiet. The hoards of guests that pack Bayview, left immediately after the fireworks, leaving a few pops and booms from people that still don't get it. You do not set off aerials in a marina. Oh well, I haven't heard the fire department yet so I guess we dodged the bullet once again. More here. Herb Huseland

Herb goes on to say some folks complained about slow service at the Captain's Wheel. "This town is simply not equipped to handle hundreds for food service in one day."
