• Fireworks really suck. – By Troy Patterson – Slate Magazine
  "Let me be clear: I have no beef with firecrackers or bottle rockets or Roman candles or anything else that one might set off in one's cousin's backyard." my opinion is precisely the opposite of the author's. I love fireworks displays, but in the neighborhood? not so much. one year in Tacoma, it was like a freaking war zone. fireworks going on CONTINUALLY from the middle of the afternoon until about 4 or 5 the next morning.
