As I drove into town today, I knew that 4th of July was near once I saw the fireworks stands on the sides of the road. I used to live some place that didn’t allow you to set-off your own firework, which if you live somewhere that offers a great fireworks show is cool, but if you don’t, it’s kind of not fun. I’m looking forward to being able to (safely, of course) set off a few fireworks this year!
