The right way to see things like fireworks, in fact, is to go there in late afternoon by public transit, and then have a picnic supper and generally laze around until fireworks time comes. Afterwards, hike north a substantial distance to get away from the crush, and take public transit home. (Public transit in the immediate vicinity of the lakeshore will be utterly jammed; unless you are handicapped or very seriously tired, hiking north until you hit an uncrowded east-west streetcar or bus route is better.) -- "For perfect safety... sit on a fence| Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology and watch the birds." --Wilbur Wright| {ihnp4,decvax,uunet!mnetor}!utzoo!henry
