Honey don't forget to have the car detailed.

I really like fireworks under two condition. #1, an a professionally run show
#2, when I'm doing my own on July 4th.

My little town doesn't allow fireworks on private property, so I've not done that since the kids grew up. Used to do sparklers in the back yard for the kids anyway.

Long before I had kid, we once put. 40's Buick about 100 feet in the air out in the desert... That was fun!

Also got to see a demo by my employer. An F-4 fighter dropping Rockeye cluster bombs on a tank formation. Talk about a thousand points of light!

More that one is getting to be too common these days. We need to take all the warning labels off of stuff and let Darwin do his thing.

What happened and why, and how very lucky they were!

An oldie but still good this time of year. I bet that isn't going to buff out.

Frigging idjits!

I was on patrol for the county as a deputy cruising slowly through the little city park in Hardtner, Kansas during one Fourth of July. It was hot, I had my bullet resistant girdle on, and was stopping and talking with whoever wanted to talk to me. I was rounding a corner and WHOOSH! a bottle rocket came into my driver's side window, went right under my nose, and out the passenger side window, then POP! I just continued driving as if nothing happened. I stopped outside the park and got out still shaking from the experience.

I haven't heard that town name in decades. When our high school Senior class took our "Senior Trip," it was to Washington, D.C. and we joined up with the Senior class of Hardtner. We all had a blast.

No, that goes back to 1964. I don't remember how many of them were in that Senior class.
