jeez!

We usually take off to wyoming to buy fireworks. buy 1 get 3 free. Plus they sell the stuff that goes way up in the air. In colorado we have a 3 or 4 foot limit [:'(] Lucky for us, we live back in the mountains and the neighbors enjoy the show and the bonfires we put on :D

That's a pretty impressive fireworks stand there on the border, just before Cheyenne, isn't it? We used to have 4 or 5 stands set up in town every year from the middle of June til the middle of July. Now, with the severe lack of rain we've been getting the last several years, we're down to one or two. The fuzz really started cracking down on the fun stuff. Doesn't mean we don't do it though, just got better at hiding it.

I will get right on that homework assignment Semisane .. I promise.


As for fireworks.. I am a strong believer that fireworks in the hands of professionals, at public displays, are a great thing and beautiful to watch. In the hands of some/most average people I really dislike (even hate)them.

For years, I saw too many incidents of grown intelligent adults do too many stupid things with fireworks. One of the dumbest ever saw was when at a gathering one evening,one person decided to shoot bottle rockets at people,me included. Believe me, he did not light off any more fireworks that evening. And to this day we are not friends. If I met him again, and he did the same thing, I would do exactly what happened that evening and never look back. Details are not necessary, but I did not have him arrested if that is what you're wondering.

Fireworks often times brings out too much of the foolish child in grown adults. Mix with that, a crowd and some alcohol with that and it is a recipe for trouble. And fireworks have no business in the hands of children. All too often I watched children lighting off fireworks under little or no adult supervision. I was a witness to one child's hand after he played with fireworks and it was not pretty, and the child will never use that hand for anything again. He can't even pick his nose with it.

In Wisconsin, fireworks are illegal. It being the 4th of July, your birthday, or any other special event does not give some one the right to set them off. Yet when they are arrested they can not understand what harm they did. If they are legal in your State, all fine and good. If not legal, driving out of State to then haul them back to a place where they are illegal does not make them anymore justifiable. If you feel the need to shoot them off, remember not all people enjoy your display, take responsibility for your actions and the consequences of fireworks that get out of hand, clean up your mess afterward, avoid alcohol, no children helping, and if they are illegal when they arrest you for it, be nice to the police officer. They are only doing their job.
