I’ve been spending the last few days with the family in IL.
I missed these summer evenings.

The large explosions started before dark, the rockets where you feel the concussion of the launch, then the rocket itself explodes. These are so loud it rattles the house and it's even scaring the cat. Mrs John is having anxiety but the peacock is freaking out the worst.
I think another hour and it will be really ridiculous.

I'm running the sprinklers in case some errant neighborhood firework winds up on one of the lawns. I wish we had sprinklers on the roof.

I mean, I DO, but not because of the firebugs.

Our dear departed Golden, Rhyo, didn't mind fireworks, but our Eskie, Kyoko, would hide under the bed shivering. Zeena the Greyhound used to get angry about them, and would come out to the Living Room, "Rowr,rowr,rowr"-ing at them.
Rango sleeps through them. Dory is a little anxious about the really loud ones, but mostly takes them in her stride.

I am an idiot. 6/6. Could have lost the streak as there were multiple choices for the 6th guess. Phew!

As to your question, they might be able to... Many forums store post edit histories - this one may have that functionality without it being visible to members. This forum does have an auto save function for reply drafts, too...
Then again, as soon as you hit "preview," any offending words are completely replaced by the asterisks, so I guess it could go either way.

Also wondering if you quote the classic song from Brittney Spears, "If You Seek Amy" is that an offense? Of course the song itself is an offense, but you know. Inquiring minds are going to ask.

Friend called for a 58 mile ride today with some steep climbing. Should be "interesting". At least the weather seems nice.
