Have a safe and fun 4th

Remember protect the furballs tonight

I think fireworks here are pretty well confined to specific, licensed
displays (and the rules are being strictly enforced). Campfires are
verbotten, too, and off-duty firemen remain on call. With humidity in the
single digits, and an expected high temperature of 116 F today, wildfires
are a distinct possibility, and they are taking no chances! (If fires
happen, they won't be any that could have been prevented.)

Our local track record for the license fireworks is so dismal I don't think
we even get them this year. The crowds and traffic are unmanageable and
we've had a couple of severe injuries.

I'll be glad when its over for this year. I love fireworks, but it is just
so hot and so dry and there are so many idiots when it comes to playing with
them. (A few of whom I'm related to)

I'm very glad we no longer have a wooden shake roof.

Hi Jo,

My home town and a few around there send their fireworks out from a
dock or parking lot, so they go out over the lakes/rivers nearby. I
used to go to Morristown, NY across from Prescott, PQ, Canada - they
set theirs off over the St. Lawrence River. It was neat watching the
huge ships going up river. If there happened to be one on this stretch
of river when the fireworks went up, they would sound their horns.

Our cats do not like fireworks. We have a field day here in town, and
they set them off less than 1000 feet away. Pretty to watch, but
every cat in the house needs a bottle of rescue remedy - that is,
after they come out from under our bed.
