I love fireworks. Not so much the noise, but the volcano of colored sparks shooting high into the air, exploding into other tiny, differently colored sparks that skitter away. Every year I make a note of the ones I liked best, but somehow can't find them the next year. You can buy acceptable fireworks in Virginia, but the really good ones (bordering on professional) are illegal here. Our deputies don't have time to waste hunting people down for having them, though, so many people bring them back from out of state & set them off anyway.
I plan on being in Virginia on the 4th. What's the law down there for fireworks? Are bottle rockets okay? Black Cats? Dixie Boys?
