“Most notably, these arent cheap fireworks.”
When I was a kid, we could (legally) buy “Red Devil” brand fireworks. We set them off in the driveway.
Remember Piccolo Pete? Catherine wheels? The Glow Worm? Sparklers you could hold?
$600 government checks ...
Not only do I remember Red Devil fireworks, Im old enough to remember that the U.S.Postal Service would deliver them to our house.
