Have a safe, fun day & remember to thank those in the armed forces who make our independence possible.

I long for the old "unsafe & insane" days of the 4th of July, growing up in Long Beach and heading' down to T.J. to stock up on M80's, Cherry Bombs and Ladyfingers two or three weeks before and then you pick up your Black Cat and Red Devil family packs at the local fireworks stand the day before. We'd blow off firecrackers and burn "snakes" all day and then at night, shoot off the Roman Candles, Volcanoes, Piccolo Petes and Spinners. Ahhh...the smell of fireworks. It smells like...VICTORY! BTW - I still have both hands and all ten digits.
