Independence Day here. That means fireworks.
Mensa did so good last year when my neighbors were lighting sticks of dynamite I thought I'd see how she does watching real fireworks close to where they are launched. So we went for a walk down by the University where they have a fireworks display every year.
She did great. As well as I could have asked. She met hundreds of people, and some even shared a bite off their burgers and hot dogs.
When they shot off the fireworks she mostly ignored them.
Here are three short video clips of Mensa not being too impressed:

These fireworks were the much ballyhooed "High Definition" type. I couldn't tell much of a difference between them and the old-school "low definition" ones.
