I got bored and patriotic early this morning and made this wallpaper for everyone. Just go to the link below the preview image(the image below is NOT the full size version and will look very fuzzy if u try to use it). Oh and make sure you go to desktop properties and make the wallpaper stretch. It is made to be stretched, but I cut it off so the file would save space. Instructions to install the wallpaper are below the link incase there are people that don't know how or have trouble!! I hope you have a happy and safe 4th!! Let me know if u liked or used my wallpaper

If anyone is interested, here are some pics from last year's NYC fireworks. There is a slide show version which seems to only work with Internet Explorer, and a version where you can just click on the pictures. If they look a little weird in terms of layout, it is because I took them from my apartment window and only get the ones that go way up in the air, in a space between the buildings. (The fireworks are placed on barges in the East River, and there is usually one 'parked' about a 5 minute walk from where I live. It gives me an appreciation for what Londoners went thru during the Blitz in WW2, at least sound wise. Even with my windows sealed shut -they have sort of a vacuum seal and are double-paned, the noise is astonishing.)

The weirdest thing was that last year, my Sasha-girl actually sat on the window sill and watched them for awhile, while all of her brofurs went into hiding.
