Fourth of July Fireworks 06 29 2020
So you go to the fireworks store and you decide to spend a little more money on a bottle rocket then the standard ones on the 8 inch wooden stick with the rocket about the size of a firecracker.
You place a tube out in your front yard. Why? Just to be safe so that it doesn't end up burning the skin off your hand and arm after you light it. You think that is all you need to worry about right?
You light that new bottle rocket. Perhaps the stick is two feet long and the top of it maybe not quite as big as a stick of dynamite. And what happens?
You watch that baby shoot off into the air about 10 feet high and then immediately it turns and heads sideways.
Your heart sinks as you realize that could have broke through the window or screen of a neighbor, started their house on fire and killed everyone inside.
And you know what? You never buy one again. Because being a responsible adult is more important to you. Being a nonindentured responsible adult is more important to you.
Happy Independence Day! The greatest day in national history anywhere on the planet earth.
