Well, Happy Independence Day y’all! As I’m sure you realize, farming is a 24/7 job, so I have to squeeze in my celebrations where I can. I’ve been invited to a neighbors for a cook-out this evening and to watch fireworks, so after I’m done with my daily chores I’ll be heading over. My neighbor says he’s got some pretty good fireworks and I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got! I really enjoy fireworks, I think it’s a shame that so many people are stupid about using them and get hurt. Their stupidity costs us smart ones the chance to buy really good fireworks. Oh well, we will deal with what we’ve got and enjoy them while we can still get them.
There’s been talk about the state outlawing ALL fireworks of ALL kinds, even those stupid little sparklers. I couldn’t give a rat’s behind about the sparklers; I think they are lame anyway and parents give them to their kids and then the kids get burnt – stupid -stupid – stupid. But I do hope that they don’t outlaw fireworks completely. Maybe they should make everyone take some kind of intelligence test before they let them buy them! Go down to the DMV, take the test, get a license to buy, and then they have to present their license at the fireworks stand!
