July 4th celebration

Funny thing, aerial fireworks are illegal in Carson, CA and is a felony if you get caught with them. So you would think all citizens in the area would try to abide by the law. Think again! In our neighborhood alone we had firework displays that would put Disneyland to shame.

It was my first time home on the 4th since 1993. Can someone tell me why my dad feels the need to have a bonfire when it is about 80 degrees out? And why do we think its safe for 3 years olds to hold sparklers in their hands (it is fire)?

The 4th definitely has a different feel depending on what region you are celebrating in. Normally in Bozeman it gets a bit cold at times and could rain or even snow. I could only imagine how it is in the northeast region. In the southwest it's hotter than heck and you can't really tell if you are hearing fireworks or gun fire.

Happy Independence Day America.
