We go down to Maryland to get fireworks every year. This year we got 70 cases, thats right, 70 cases. And we're not talking sparklers here. The salesman even asked us who we were planning on selling them to, and we had to inform him that we were setting them off. The laws about fireworks are weird too. Its illegal for people who live in Maryland to buy fireworks in Maryland, but people from out of state can buy whatever they like, including professional grade rockets that resemble something out of Rambo. Its the same way in Pennsylvania. You can only buy low grade frieworks in PA if you live there, but out of state can go wild.
Its a family tradition. Every year we set off a serious fireworks display
for our reunion that we host. Our teenage cousins set up the whole thing under our direction and then they set it off once its dark. The show has actually become somewhat known in our area and when you look around the side streets and church parking lot behind us, you can see cars line up to watch.
Ah, there's nothing better to celebrate America's birthday that taking a calculated risk to your health to blow stuff up...
Happy Independence Day!
