So High You Can't Get Over It, So Low You Can't Get Under It....

Sunset going down the 5

Santa Ana was bedlam on the 4th. As soon as we hit the city limit we noticed a definite smoky haze. At first we thought it was fog but then we realized that is was from the fireworks that people were setting off. I kinda felt bad for the cops that night. We saw at least ten cars all go different directions- there was hardly any back up that night. Fireworks are legal in Santa Ana but the ones that were in the sky were definitely not legal and we loved it. Big bursts of color and booms filled the sky. Note to self: never go down Spurgeon Street off of Seventeenth- people throw fireworks out their apartment windows down to the cars below- we got out of there fast. The sky was a blaze til 10:30 and then it seemed that the haze enveloped the city and it went to sleep.
