We (Lili and I, then Rob) went to the Bel Marin Keys Sailabration in the afternoon of the fourth. While we were there a man came down the street with a mylar baloon tied to his truck. It hit the low hanging power line and the transformer blew knocking out electricity to 750 homes. When it hit the line it aounded like an explosion and the line which was flowing with electricity hit the tire of a car across the street and started it on fire. Of course it was the tire right below the gas tank. Thank heaven the Novato fire department was there to keep the car from exploding. PG&E finally arrived and the power was restored two hours later. We were stranded at the marina for an hour before they let people go home. We ran to the car, drove like a b out of h and picked up Dorias to go to the barbeque at our friends. What a weird 4th of July.
