Hey, don't blame me - I just Googled "4th of July terrorism" and that was one of the first hits ... I got the idea because of all the media talk about increased security.
Anyone still use their own fireworks? Legal, or illegal? When I lived in Vegas, sale of fireworks was illegal, but by county. Clark County illegal, next county to the west, Nye County seemed to be "on the fence", no one knew the legality question, as the Pahrump town Fire Department sold fireworks openly to anyone wanting to buy. Thus, the F.D. made some dough through mark-up, the folks of Clark County desiring fireworks, drove out over Spring Mountain Pass, a delightfully scenic drive, to town of Pahrump, bought them, and took them back to L.V. A curious situation, to say the least! Firemen usually recommend strongly against fireworks. Sort of like the cops selling hootch during Prohibition. imp

Happy and safe Fourth of July, everyone!
I had to cut my doggie's walk short tonight because people are doing the firecracker thing and it makes her very nervous. I don't like it either.

Years ago a bunch of guys went out to the Colorado river fishin. One of our boats wouldn't start right up. My best bud, Eddie (RIP), was trying to start it and I though "a little tipsy" was trying to help. Eddie handed me his beer can and said, "hold this but don't drink it". I, being a wiseguy said "oh yeah!" and took a long swig....then spit it very quickly, it was gasoline. The rest of the weekend the taste of gas was in my mouth and my nickname was "gasman". That night when I laid down to sleep someone said they guessed I was out of gas...True story.

I was sitting at the bar, having a beer, and really had to pee. My beer was still half full so I put a note on it and said, "In this beer I have spit."
After relieving myself, I sat back down and finished my beer feeling proud that I had come up with such a good idea. As I put the empty glass down, I noticed my note was different. I picked it up and it said: "So have I." :drinking:

Heh, heh ... I'm sure you can. I haven't been down south in many years so I'm sort of out of the loop. Someday ...

I'm just not fond of fireworks -- as a kid, I had a friend who was badly injured by a cherry bomb and ever after that, I just don't like them.
They also scare my dogs and I get to spend the evening of the 4th trying to be sure they don't freak out or jump the fence.
Probably be quieter this year, though, because the nutcase who used to get wasted and go out and fire his 22 into the air about midnight moved away. He used to do it on New Year's, too. Lovely old coot. We used to call the police, but by the time they got to his house he had gone back in and passed out.
