Re: Random musings
My friend told me the person in front of him at the fireworks stand spent something like $200 on fireworks. I'm sure there's others who easily spend 2-3 times that. What's the benefit?
Along these lines, people who record videos of fireworks shows on their cell phones. I can at least understand how you'd enjoy watching them in the moment, when are you ever going to watch that again?

If you saw how much [expletive] got burned up in STL (and elsewhere i assume) then you might understand why people get frustrated with fireworks.Diddy wrote:So none of you guys had bottle rocket wars or shot Roman candles at each other growing up?

Re: Random musings
Buying a gross of bottle rockets for $2 when you’re 14 years old is fine. Spending $1000 as a full on adult to shoot off high powered fireworks on your tiny plot of land surrounded by thousands of other people is lame as [expletive].

Talk of permanent ban of firework sales in Colo. Meanwhile two yahoos start a wildfire near Basalt CO. shooting tracer rounds.

Another girls weekend at the dreamer house. They asked if I would do a brisket for tomorrow. So you might say four hot girls like my meat.
