Yeah I hear you.. I moved about 8 months ago from the Monterey area to Pahrump Nevada. We got fireworks stores open all years round here. You name it, you can buy it here. I am going to have FUN this year! Sorry to hear they wont even let ya do the "safe and sane" fireworks. They at least used to allow those in the Monterey area.
Are you Art Bell?
Have fun on the 4th!
