I’ve been humming that song today (which is really named Both Sides Now and was written by Joni Mitchell) as I recorded this episode of Red Belly Radio. Why you may ask? Well, on this episode of Red Belly Radio, I recap my favorite thing to do on July 4, which ends with my observation of watching fireworks displays from an aircraft at 30,000 ft.

The new verse, in my head, goes something like:
I’ve looked at fireworks from both sides now,
and then again, I still say wow!...

You get the idea, it only works if you really force it and don’t try too hard to make sense of it.

In addition to buying cars and mattresses (they always seem to be on sale over the 4th?), I like to float in an inner tube on the Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas. Spring fed and constant 72 degrees all year round, there is nothing better on a hot day.

Give this episode a listen and see how I like to spend the 4th and it’s not too late for you to plan a trip to New Braunfels via San Antonio.
