Nothern Most Outpost of the Bulldawg Nation



O.K., So it is not tailgating in Athens , BUT, We went to a wonderful fireworks show at the Genesee Country Village and Museum, which is sort of an architectural museum, old  houses and buildings saved from demolition all over Upstate NY and brought here. I took  a picnic, all store bought, but good all the same. It is a very cool place. The firework show was a mixture of vintage fireworks and what they call " light paintings " with super high tech very 21st century ones. We have been to this show a couple of times, it is always very enjoyable.
Light Paintings are the old fashion fireworks set on poles with "sheets" of wire that make a picture of a person or what ever. It's very cool to see them. I tried to take some pictures, but they only came out as big bright spots. For all of you living in warm places and for those of you that roasted watching the Georgia game today, you will be happy to know that it was most chilly up here tonight!  I am my fathers son and 55 is cold, when wearing only shorts and a t-shirt.
How sweet of them to play our fight song!
