Why fight the crowds??
Thanks alot! I just blew my freaking hand off!
Not bad, and the price is quite reasonable!
Heheheh. At least you're not dead.............oh, wait...you ARE dead.
Neato-keeno!!
No fireworks? Can't imagine.
Cool.
BUMP
Hah! They didn't put the gui part into its own thread!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I forwarded it to my college student, who expects major fireworks on the Fourth of July.
I'll be sure to watch them in...
Kool fireworks..........
Lame! (for not allowing fireworks where you are)
I live in the Socialist County of Santa Cruz. About 15 years ago they outlawed the public fireworks on the Fourth of July. They also won't let the Navy ship dock here any more. They even tried to keep the Navy Band from playing at the Boardwalk. It's a tyranny of America haters here.
We just relocated to Texas and I was VERY pleased to find that just about everything is legal in most of Texas! Man I got some rockets and aerial shells that look like I stole them out of the back of an army truck and I bought them legally just outside of San Antonio!
I just can't imagine that. MN (and I believe IA) doesn't allow the public to shoot off their own fireworks, so every June there are fireworks businesses set up along the borders to sell the latest fun stuff. I and a group of friends get together for BBQ, beer, and we pool our money together every year for a big collection of fireworks and have a real blowout for the kids (big ones as well as little ones).
Oh that's rediculous!! Though I do have to say, as you travel up the coast it only gets progressively a little better. In Oregon (or at least Portland) you can't have any fireworks that leave the ground (meaning only sparklers and whistling/annoying things) - then cross the river into Washington and you can at least shoot them into the air! Guess how many people drive accross the river, buy the good ones, and come back.... he he he he
Funny thing about THIS county; they DO allow two different fireworks displays during the year. One is in October, to celebrate the anniversary of Santa Cruz, and the other is in August, to raise money for the schools. So, it DOESN'T have anything to do with fireworks per se, it's the FOURTH OF JULY they don't want us celebrating. GRRRRR.
No fireworks where I live either.... Los Angeles, county..
