Fourth of July, Independence Day at the National Mall, together with several hundred thousand people. Heard all songs containing 'America' and closed off with the most magnificent fireworks. Lincoln watched from his chair. His name was frequently heard, but he didn't move. The clouds of smoke calmly drifted off to the Northwest. Is this what geo-engineering looks like? Expect to see a global cooling effect within several days and grounding of air traffic in Northwest Europe. After the last explosion, the crowd retreated through the streets of downtown Washington in peaceful harmony, leaving behind amazingly little litter. It was the first time I could really appreciate fireworks and experienced a strange sensation of feeling proud of a country that isn't mine. They're good at this.
