Really? It's 5:15 pm in Puerto Rico and there is as of yet no 4th of July thread for or from the Yanks??
Yay! Let us remind ourselves of what happens on Independence Day: (You what? Oooh, you meant the American thing. I thought you meant the film where Will Smith punches an alien in the face. )
No, but they really don't like having to pick up the pieces of people who get maimed or killed by fireworks mishaps -- even if the injuries are self-inflicted. Everyone, have a SAFE and FUN Independece Day!
Really? It's illegal in Iowa and Arizona? It's not in Indiana. Good thing, too. We've been blowing up Dumpsters with Roman candles for five years running. Blew the last one up last night. Errr, I mean, in the beginning hours of the actual fourth of July. (Dont worry, it wasnt vandalism... I think. A friend owned it, or was at least paying for it anyway. The garbage company gets pissed on July 6th every year when we have to order a new one. ) Whoohoo! Explosives for all!
Happy 4th! In honor of the day, I give you a picture from my 4th of July in 2007. We were in Paris, Idaho, and they set off their fireworks on a mountain hill in the middle of town...and set the hill on fire.
