July 4th.

I live out in the country now so fireworks are a go out in the street and light them up kind of thing.  To get to our house you have to pass three fireworks stands; so the opportunity is there.  We bought some and a little before it got dark we started lighting up the sparklers for the kids.  When it got a bit darker we lit up the other stuff.  We didn't go crazy with the fireworks because why should we when our neighbors will spend the big bucks for the professional stuff?  Yes, our neighbors went a little crazy and shot off I don't know how much.  So much that I'm glad that we had a little rain shower this afternoon.  I walked down to the end of the street so I could how much the neighbors were shooting off; they were shooting off so much that I'm going to take a shower to get the ash off of me.
