MY FOURTH ROCKED
Despite the fact I'm an anal retentive control freak who wanted to have his own fireworks party at his own hacienda I capitulated to my 10-year-old and went 3 doors down, where 20 friends were consolidating their booty. Went off well. A few ground detonations of hard-core explosives (those pussy cardboard mortar tubes wear out; I'll construct PVC ones for next year) but we all have our fingers. Set off my remainders in MY yard tonight.
This state is ridiculous, sometimes. When you go to Phantom Fireworks you have to sign a form that avows you are a commercial pyrotechnics professional, and will not use these devices around children. All under the watchful eye of a tricked out State Trooper, who hopefully has his .357 set on stun. Rules. Go figure.
Next year I'm going to construct a barge to float into the lake. Go wireless detonation. No one reading this site works for Liberty Mutual, do they?
Yours was better than mine. I laid in the bed all Percodaned up and watched TV fireworks. Blogged a bit, laid back down. I intend to make up for it with a totally licencious and drunken Labor Day.
