Tangentially, on Saturday we drove to a small community about an hour outside of Anchorage - unbelievably, the only place you can get fireworks here - specifically to procure celebratory pyrotechnics to set off on Tuesday night. It’ll be about 6pm Alaska time when the stunned journalists finally breakdown to call Florida and Pennsylvania for Trump. We live deep in the mountains on a lot of land so aren’t at risk of endangering anyone other than ourselves or a rapid police response before we’ve set off our entire supply. We do, however, have neighbors spanning either side of our valley and bought the loudest and most obnoxious options to make sure the liberal ones see, hear, and feel our joyous gloating. Given our four large Trump signs, the only ones in a 10 mile radius, it’ll be pretty clear who is making the noise. Given that the fireworks shanty village was all ready to go for Halloween sales yet I heard no Halloween fireworks, I wonder if others are up to what we are ;)
Anyone else preemptively buy election celebration goodies of the flammable or non-flammable variety? (We also picked up a fancy bottle of wine, which we figure we’ll “need” either way.)
We always have some old pans and spoons to bang on and make noise for celebrations.
