Fireworks Every Day but the Fourth

Boston's 4th of July fireworks over the Charles are cancelled tomorrow due to the approaching Hurricane Arthur and have instead been moved to tonight.  Next door, Somerville's fireworks always have been scheduled for tonight as well.  However, if they get rained out tonight they'd instead be moved to the 10th - a week later and still (inconveniently) a Thursday.  July 3rd is also Norwalk's traditional firework date.   This is because Norwalk is a cheap town, and does not like to pay holiday wages to its fireworks crew.  The decision was made several days ago to postpone Norwalk's fireworks to the 5th.  My only hope to see live fireworks tomorrow is triumphant yet reckless fans of the Brazil x Colombia World Cup match tomorrow afternoon.
