View Full Version : Happy America Day!!
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I like days that give me an excuse to drink.
I also just learned yesterday that fireworks are illegal in Illinois, which I maintain that someone should have told me before I moved here. What's the point of the 4th of July if you can't blow stuff up?

The Chicago Tribune just had an article on this subject. Over a century ago in the Chicago area, people commonly played with fireworks and even fired guns to celebrate the Fourth. As a result, there had been quite a number of death and severe injuries as a result. This caused a number of people to crusade against them, except as performed by professional fireworks experts for the public to watch. It worked, as there are very few fireworks-related deaths and injuries in the USA nowadays.

One time as a kid I tried to blow up my cousin's clubhouse with firecrackers, thinking they worked like dynamite. I survived that endeavor. FIREWORKS 4 EVERYONE.

Happy belated Fourth of July. I didn't do anything special for it as we couldn't light off fireworks due to the dry grass. Whatever. It's just a day for me and nothing more.
