Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for July 02, 2013

I miss the “good old days” when we used to have battles with Roman candles!

we also have weird fireworks laws. some states have a vast assortment and legal. others make it illegal, and others only let only smoke.

I remember as child, some moons ago we always had fireworks. Now New York doesn’t wamt you to have sparklers because they are too dangerous for little fingers. Personally I think it is a right of childhood to learn to be careful.

I had a friend. We called him “Three fingers”. Did a stupid human trick. He had found a detonator in local construction site. On the fourth he decided to set it off. AND he was going to hold it by the tips of his thumb and finger. He did it with the Blackcat crackers with no problem. Even swallowed one once when it was lit. He hooked up the wires. Put it between his finger tips. Touched the end. That is how he got the nick name “Three fingers”. Fireworks are fun just be careful. Don’t hurt yourself or burn folks houses down.

The “pursuit of happiness” is dead in the blue states.

There’s a time and place for everything this isn’t the time and all the states undergoing drought are not the place’s for firework’s.

You must live near me, dzw3030. Finally the fires burning in the Jemez and Sangres are mostly contained or dying down from the higher humidity and cooler air.

We’ve had fireworks going off for 2 weeks already. The vet supplied tranquilizers for the pets.

Would you rather set your house on fire, wise guy?
