HUNTING FOR FIREWORKS
My son and I went out and bought a jumbo box of fireworks in preparation for tomorrow’s festivities. But the box didn’t include sparklers so I had to go back out. Ended up at a fireworks tent in a shopping center parking lot. It was a veritable cornucopia of pyrotechnic delights. What is the attracting in lighting things on fire that spark, sparkle, smoke, flame, hiss, whistle, and fly? I can’t really say but I am looking forward to it almost as much as my four-year-old is. And kill-joys like this need to lighten up a little.
