Hehe, I recently bought my load of fireworks for the year.
Our special this year would be our 2.5 inch morter with double/split shells. Damn thing is so loud that it's pathetic, and it shoots to about 750 feet and makes some pretty awesome coloring effects.
I only bought a few "bottle rockets" this year thought, I think 1400 will be enough. 
Also, I got a set of these "new" sparklers. Six freakin foot of sparkler! heh But, the point here is.
Happy
Fourth
of
July

And just so you know, that's just some.
Included some 10 shot 1 inch roman candles. A hold crapload of little stuff. I just listed the more "important" thing.
But my friend has the "big boomer" for tommorow night.
Let's just say, we have about 3 sticks left from last year. heheh Dynamite rools. Makes one hella hole in the ground too. heh

My brother, one time (can't buy them here anymore though...) brought down a 6" cannon/morter. It wasn't bad, but it shook every single window in my house, and scared the bejesus out of the local cop. Then it lit up our entire valley from about.... I'd say 2000 feet. It was Sweet.
The cop came up to us and asked us not to do it again for the fact that it could give someone a heart attack. hehe

All the cool fireworks are illegal in IL, where I grew up.. when my little brother turned 16, he started a yearly tradition of taking orders from the entire neighboghood, making a pilgrimage to Indiana or Missouri where all the good fireworks can be sold, and loading up the back of the Explorer.
Our neighborhood regularly had a better fireworks display than the local parks, courtesy of my dad and brother's intricate setups and the cul-de-sac on the top of the hill where we lived.
Unfortunately, this year I'll be missing the St. Louis display of fireworks, shot off barges on the Mississippi river near the Arch. They're implementing some ridiculous security measures this year (in the name of fighting terrorism, every man, woman, and child will have all backpacks/bags/purses searched! No coolers! Controlled entry points to the park! No parking within 10 blocks of the riverfront! Pay $20 to park and another $20 to take a shuttle to the riverfront!). I refuse to subject myself to that crap in the name of seeing sparkly things go boom. *sigh* I can't wait till the nation returns to its collective senses.

Oh yes. I forgot. The Evildoers of the Axis of Evil must be stopped from bringing beer in coolers to a fireworks display! Er.. Um.. *sigh*
Anyway.. Yeah, fireworks are COOL!!!
Happy Independence Day!

That's just screwy. The only way I'd pay that much for fireworks is if they were shiny as well as sparkely and they gave out QUALITY free food and beverages. Then I would CONSIDER it.

I am gonna go park on a hill around the corner.. overlook the Phoenix Valley from the back of my new truck.. with my wife.. and enjoy the biggest display in the state of arizona..
It's illegal here to buy any sort of firework.. now that doesn't mean we don't get them.. but I haven't been to New Mexico in some time.. so I don't have any..
then again.. I am sure I can find some sort of Recipe online.. hmmm black powder.. some cardboard tubes.. cannon fuse..
ohh ummmm never said that..

Heh.. next thing we hear, Qui Gon-Jinn will be the most wanted man in Arizona for setting off the latest wildfire..

This made me remember the most frightening occurrence of my life. The incident happened on a camping trip in 89. We had set up the tent in a Provincial park the day before, and was just lazing around enjoying the day. It was July 1, and it was a warm beautiful day. Across the road was a group of partygoers who, after imbibing 13 cases of various Labatt and Molson products...decided to let some fireworks go.
Now my tent has a front and back door. Lucky for me, I had both open wide to enjoy the breeze. To my complete surprise, I hear someone scream "watch out". I turned around and I see this fiery object come straight at me (I was in the tent). This thing got big real quick. Somehow I managed to kiss the tent floor real quick. I hear this hissing/whistling sound...the Doppler effect, and the smell of something burning as it flies in one door and out the other (we are talking an 8 person dome tent). The firework goes right past me and blows up 40 yards beyond.
I go ballistic...walk over to them..and glare at the few that could stand up straight..but not too steady. They refuse to listen to reason. I call the parks rangers after they let a few more go..with alcohol induced aiming problems, and are kicked out for safety reasons after being issued a fine.

Cherry bombs (Yes, the old, big bang, water proofed kind), M-80's, and other miscellanious outlawed firecrackers and explosives all seem to make thier way into my area.
The local stand will even sell you M-80's for the right price.
In any case, none of the local fireworks displays were "Oooh and ahhh", since they closed down the display that had been going at the Harry S. Truman libary for 10 years now.
Most people in my area put on a better show then arrowhead stadium. I just kick back and enjoy the show. I'm not wasting my moneys on something I'd spend 2 hours shooting, running back and forth, me beeing the only one watching.

Let's just say this, at the place we got them, you first HAD to sign a waiver stating you'd take them out of the state of ohio. And I got about... 500 dollars worth of fireworks for about 50 bucks. So, Thee, I know what I was doing. It's best you do big favors, for the big names in fireworks.
^^
