KA-BOOM!!!!

Damn! You know, I must say, next year we might actually have a get-together at our place for the 4th. Our neighborhood is full of crazy people! We almost ended up hanging out at home like last year before we got an invite to go to another house gathering. When we got home, our hood was 'sploding all over the place, especially our neighbors behind us.

I imagine it looked a lot like this, because they DEFINITELY had some BIG rockets and were launching them from a metal trash can or barrel so there was a huge BOOM! followed by car alarms going off each time they fired one. They blew up about 100' above our house and rained sparks all over the area.

So I sat outside watching, drinking & reading while eying the falling flames, my tiki hut, and the nearest fire extinguisher.

Pretty exciting stuff.
