Remember, remember, the Fifth of November

[unixronin]

...Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Ever should be forgot

It is sometimes said, in a kind of dark humor, that no-one's quite certain whether the commemoration of November 5th is celebrating the fact that Guido Fawkes failed to blow up the King and Parliament ... or the fact that he tried.

In any case, in commemoration, we shall blow things up this evening.  Possibly a bonfire too.  Perhaps even fire up the grill.  Co-participants are welcome.

Isn't there some tradition about burning politicians, or am I just a confused American? Hee, hee...

I'm hoping not to blow up things this evening, since I'll be on a British Airways jet en route to London...

Shoulda arranged to leave _yesterday_..
