Mary and I went to SF (Alameda actually) for the 4th, which was fun. There was limited drinking (though alcohol everywhere due to it being California), and grilling of meats and such. This year there was a Bush's Head pinata, rather than last year's Bush's Ass pinata. There will be photos of the new one eventually. It was very well-made (not by me). Mary was the one who finally broke it. There were gross Mounds bars inside.

Mmm, grimy dried food flakes suspended in goo. Once I tried to get M&Ms out of the machine and it gave me a mounds bar instead.
i can't believe you thought the mounds bars were gross. i noticed they all got eaten right away (unlike the wierdly stale mini-peanutbutter cups, which i had to bring to work).
I'm not a big eater of the coconuts, you see. Last year the mini-candybars were a big hit with me. I did have some Crackle (Krackle?) bars from the Bush this year. Those were good.
