Dunno what we will do. Im gonna try to get dad to let us do at least a few fountains. I guess we kinda outgrew the stuff. Not so entertaining to watch stuff blow up, now its more fun to strap Barbie dolls and hotwheels to rockets.

    Well considering "Localy" we have one fire thats at 17,000+ acres with 10% containment. Another fire that is 1200 Acres with 0 containment 1500 people have been displaced/Evaced, Another fire that has just started and is at 650 acres, 0 containment

    Fireworks will not be wise around here. As much as I love them, Too many people are losing homes in my parts.

    sounds like it like it is here franc...the greens have got it so bad that the government wont do fuel reduction burns when its safe...some people just dont realise that the bush etc will burn...either when its safe, or when it isnt...its just a matter of when, thats all.
    maybe if 2 or 3 thousand people are burned to death the laws will change again.

    Dry as it's been, I'll have to see wwhether the city lights fireworks. There's a heritage festival at the museum, then the City has a concert and fireworks. It's a nice family thing to attend.

    Personally, I've come to despise the 4th of July because I live in town. Many of the neighbors are plain, white trash that light off fireworks starting about June 20th. They begin about noon most days and go until their cheap liquor runs out; close to midnight. That makes for really short nights for me and tends to make me a Grumpy Gus.

    Maybe the new dog won't be as traumatized by the noise as my old hound was.

    I'm not getting my hopes up.

    No. They dont Steal. They get old ones. They go through them like they are nothing, If you dont have anything nice to say, why dont you keep your screwed up ideas to your screwed up self.

    Thanks.

    Come to Indiana for a visit Jake. I will hook you and your dad up with all the bangs, booms, whistles, and fountains you can afford and truck home. [:D][;)]

    Jacob how come you don't take your sisters dolls, I'm sure she has some left around. Cherry bombs would be about all you could light around here as it just keeps pouring Rain here.[:D][}:)][:0]

    I'm thinking crop should be awesome here. Ill have to drive down the road and check out what he has.

    Lots of rain, the fields flooded right before he was gonna put down his crop, so its definitely "fertile"

    Will go to the local show, they shoot from a Barge in the middle of a lake. Really safe, atleast they start no fires.

    This is the time of year I worry the most, I'm surrounded by trees. Way to many Idiots around here. Meth heads and fireworks means the fire department works overtime.

    head to the beach for a week with about 30-40 relatives, been doing it all my 31 years...wouldn't miss it for anything. Usually beers and watching fireworks from the balcony on the 4th.

    Screwed up? Who's the one blowing up Barbie dolls that his friends take from their sisters? That's just sick. But then again, you ARE 15 and don't know 1/2 as much as you think you do. Just like most 15 year olds.

    Well, local volunteer FD and Rescue Squad does a nice Independence Day program- Big open area, hillside above the river. Local music, food sales benefit the squad, take the kids (or in our case, grandkids) let them run around, play with Frisbees, balloon helicopters, June bugs, puppies. No booze, plenty of iced tea and lemonade, and fried chicken. About dark, fireflies, followed by nice fireworks show. Pack up lawn chairs, sleepy kids, head home.

    I suppose if my body temp isn't below 98.6 and I'm above ground anything I do will amount to "doing" the 4th of July. But other than that, nothing special! [:D]

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    I think we're going to really go nuts this 4th. BBQ, hundreds worth of fireworks, and lots of liquor. My block is great on holidays. Everyone comes out.
