Oh, we're not that far from Mexico. :)

While it's illegal to pop them in most city limits, most of the cops ignore them unless the county is under a burn ban.

When we lived in Tyler we would go down to Frankston every weekend. There seemed to be about a half a dozen fireworks stands along the way. It seemed strange that the only time they opened was a week before New Year's and a week before July 4th.

Nothing like a short trip to Mexico. We've only driven to Rocky Point and I took a day trip to Juarez, and we hve been to Nogales. Never been to the east along the coast...
