Happy Independence Day - 2024
Let's be thankful that we've been able to hold it together this long.
Independence Day mean a lot of things to a lot of people. This year I'll just focus on this:
The United States of America was founded on the belief that God meant for people to be FREE -- not "better governed."
Have a Happy Independence Day!
These are some strangely named fireworks I've purchased over the years:
A few years back there was another Golden Shower Fountain hiding in the pack!
Even so, here is a video of some fireworks.
I took this video on July 4th 2008. We were eating at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on the St. Johns River in Downtown Jacksonville.
Stay safe out there, and keep a hose close by.
Buy me a Ko-Fi 😉👉

Happy Independence Day! I live on the border of Minnesota (fireworks are illegal) and South Dakota (where they're legal), so everyone is selling fireworks here. I'm not a huge fan of lighting them off personally. As a child I enjoyed throwing those bang snaps aka poppers that make a noise when they hit the ground. I'm pretty, pretty tame. But I have plenty of neighbors shooting off fireworks anyway.
