Boston rescheduled the Boston Pops concert and fireworks on the Esplanade, from the 4th to tonight, because of Hurricane Arthur bringing a lot of rain tomorrow. It's odd having it on the 3rd, but a smart decision. If they postponed until Saturday, some of the headliners would not have been able to perform. (Joey MacIntyre, and cast of Phantom of the Opera were unavailable to perform tonight, though--only the 4th was possible). The good thing is that the Beach Boys will be performing this evening. (I'll just watch the concert on tv tonight. I have no desire to deal with crowds after working today.) Nemo, I don't know if you get WBZ Boston on your cable/satellite in RI, but it's on at 8 p.m.

The preparations for the concert today provided some good diversion around midday. A bunch of us watched the Army drive down Storrow Drive with their howitzers attached to the back of their trucks. (They set those up for the 1812 Overture and set them off during a section of the corresponding music--those puppies are LOUD! BOOM!! Happy 4th!

Sorry all the 4th celebration plans up there are kinda' messed up 'cause of the weather. Hope y'all enjoy the weekend, anyway. :)

The only time I've ever seen the Beach Boys (only Mike Love and Bruce Johnston :rolleyes:) was a few summers ago when we worked security for my friend that used to be a co-owner of the only Carlos' N Charlie's in the US here on Lake Travis. They closed it last summer because the lake was too low from the drought (they used to have tons of boat traffic).
Anyway, we got to meet both of those guys and that was pretty cool. :)

I heard some roaring motors at one point today coming from outside at the office. As it became louder, I pulled my window shades higher and when I looked up there it was...a B-17G Flying Fortress from WWII! So cool! It was in town from the Texas-based Commemorative Air Force to give a WWII vet a ride. :)

Oh boy, the memory of shipment days past at The Disney Store!!!!! :joyfull: ;)
We used to get, generally, between 200-400 boxes in one shipment every week, and as many as 800 during the Holidays and sometimes more than one shipment a week. Our back room was completely insane for the first few hours while we organized the boxes and then processed and stored all the product. :confused: :)

I don't know how many boxes we got, but it was a lot. Luckily we have one of those rolling tracks, so it's just kind of like a conveyor belt of boxes going down, with spots on each side for products to go to.

Also, I noticed about 4 or 5 school displays out now.

Love the Back-to School stuff that's out already. School's just got out here about 2 weeks ago.

You checked off 59 out of 100 on the 'MURICA list!
  1. You’re pretty ‘Murican. You’re all about the red, white, and blue, and freedom is one of your favorite things in the world. But there is always room for more patriotism, so how about having an EXTRA beer or two this Fourth of July (within reason, of course!)

I love how Ron Swanson is the person in this picture. #Murica

It's probably a whole "you-know-what-load" more than we ever got at TDS, but, we were only about a 3,000 sq. ft. Store (quite large, actually, as Disney Stores go), but, we were the conveyer belt. ;)

And yep, we were always receiving product about a season ahead of time.
