I don't get why the town display, which is always quite nice, would not be enough.

Be sure, I've never been a fan of fireworks.<BR/><BR/>I'm a little confused about the laws here, because most of my life they were illegal in this state, then they changed it and there are little tents set up all over all summer long so people can buy stupid noisy things they set off after having a few drinks.<BR/><BR/>I'm stopping now before this becomes a full-fledged rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
