Newsletter Tri Valley SIR 34

It's Steve, he says he's drinking from home this month

Bill Staack 
Big Sir.

I hope everyone is staying sane and healthy, we're all looking for a better 2021.  Tony Davito sent this along thought others might enjoy it.
The Summer Olympics got scratched in Japan.
They had a slew of fireworks to use for the opening and closing ceremonies, but the fireworks couldn’t be stored until 2021, so they had to either, (1) get rid of them, or (2) fire them up...
The Japanese did the latter...to Rossini’s William Tell Overture...at the base of Mt. Fuji.  Enjoy the show!
