Moments #24: A 4th of July Tradition: Blurry Firework Pictures!
Is there anything better than blurry pictures of fireworks on the 4th of July?
I don’t know but I do know that I always enjoy taking them. For me, they’re as much a part of the 4th as visiting with family and cooking out. In honor of the 4th, here are some of my favorite blurry fireworks pictures:

The Three Covers of Reagan’s Raiders
Reagan’s Raiders was a comic book that ran for a total of three issues in 1987. It imagined President Ronald Reagan as a super hero who, with the members of his administration, would fight evil around the world. According to this article, a scientist had discovered a way to give them the bodies of young men.
It sounds like the comic books were meant to be satirical but the three covers make Ronald Reagan look like the greatest President that we’ve ever had. (The cover of the second issue should be hanging in the White House, in my opinion.) Here, just in time for the 4th of July, are the three covers of Reagan’s Raiders!
A Scene That I Love: Snoopy Plays The National Anthem in A Boy Named Charlie Brown
I shared this scene two years ago and then again last year but sometimes a scene is so great that you have to share it thrice. Here, to honor America, is Snoopy performing the National Anthem.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!
Song of the Day: The National Anthem, Performed At My Old High School
It wasn’t difficult to pick today’s song of the day. Here is the National Anthem, performed not by the usual highly-paid celebrities but instead, by the class of 2012 at my old high school. I think they did a great job!
