I knew there was a reason to skip the firecrackers.

Back in ancient times when I was growing up my parents and cousins' parents (next door neighbors) each bought large kits of "Safe and Sane" fireworks. We chose a spot on the farm tens of yards from structures, cleared of vegetation and wandering mammoths and set them off there. We were careful in the handling and lighting, yada yada yada.

Setting off fireworks in a city, in a driveway just 20 or 30 yards from a house, maybe 10 yards from people, 3 or 4 yards from a pick-up, with multiple people doing the lighting and staying a few feet away, that amount of stupidity probably was literally painful for a few people.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

People don't have any sense. I live in a rural area. We haven't had rain in a couple of weeks. It's too dry to be setting off fireworks, you idjmos.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

We've had rain at least every other day for weeks. Great for the garden.

It sounds like the Western Front out there... :laugh:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Never fear. tomorrow is a cheat day. No restrictions.

If I ain't passed out by dark, I will merely be part of the ooh and ahh crowd up on the deck, belching contentedly.

We just came in from lighting off some fireworks with the grandkids. They had so much fun and it was the perfect night.
The dogs, the barn cats and the horses did not enjoy the festivities. Everyone is calmed down now.

One of the worse beating I got was setting off fireworks in the old barn... I still remember that whooping...

This reminds me of a scene from the movie "Dutch"...
