And goes by the name "Lucky?".
The guy with the really good stuff has a peg leg.
I will certainly do my part in celebrating the birth of this great nation by blowing up a small piece of it.
God's way of telling you that you have too much money.
I don't need to buy any fireworks.
The folks in my neighborhood import the finest fireworks from down south.
A few even do a roll-your-own kind that are really spectacular.
The fun starts around dusk about a week before, and a couple of days after, the 4th.
Maybe not as spectacular as the commercial ones nor as much fun as doing it yourself, but I don't go broke or get blown up either. I do roll out the hose JIC some stray embers come by.
The only casualty of this celebration are the dogs. My pooch's are a nervous wreck by weeks end, I try and keep them with me with the TV on but unfortunately the noise still comes though.

There are people walking around not knowing this is their last few days with 10 fingers.
We buy our fireworks from Southern Indiana.
Our problem is the cats as we have to replace the valances after repeated salvos.

That sounds like the same guy I buy reload ammo from.
It started two nights ago in my neighborhood. I'll probably have my younger son's two dogs for the 4th so I'll need to make sure all the windows are closed, they were not happy Saturday night. My older son volunteered to take an ot shift at the fire department-he's not a fan of fireworks, too many bad memories of Iraq and Afghanistan for him. He finds it easier to be working than not.

This is FUNNY! When we lived on Long Island, fireworks were illegal - but everyone had them and many of the displays were almost professional quality! The Cops never bothered anyone since the "illegal"part was just unenforceable because no one payed attention to that. Now that we live in a State where fireworks are perfectly legal, sold everywhere including Costco we sometimes go the entire Holiday without even hearing fireworks. Go figure! I can only guess that when something is illegal, everyone wants it - human nature I suppose. When something is sold everywhere and perfectly legal, it is no longer a novelty.

In the late 60's and early '70's my Dad and his brother would go dove hunting in South Carolina and come back with all sorts of neat fireworks. M80s, Cherry Bombs and Black Cats. Ladyfingers were for ...... girls.
I remember taping M80s to lawn darts - bombs away!!!!
Launching rockets and Roman Candles on the beach at the Cape - even though I almost lost the tip of my finger with a short fuse, great fun growing up.

With great irony, that may change. The VA is fitting me with hearing aids on 2 July
