If you are content with allowing the government to cancel the 4th of July celebrations, then sadly, you have totally forgotten what INDEPENDENCE DAY is all about!!!

Plan to spend the day in my workshop, and the son and I may go see some fireworks somewhere in the area. We'll likely park somewhere near the venue. Midwest City is having fireworks, and a couple of other smallish towns nearby.
Neighbors have been setting off fireworks for about a month now. My poor dog is on about his last nerve.
PA Governor Wolf has tried to cancel the fireworks displays and other gatherings but my town told him to "shove it" and we'll see the rocket's red glare again this year!
Gun control is not about guns.
I haven’t seen fireworks in years, I stay in.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
I am in Washington, but the hay stacks are over on a Reservation. I can’t hunt them either ....
I have Tribal hunters that harvest them but there is a limit to what they can handle. The herd moves off but is back in a couple of hours. Then they are hazed off by Jeep or snowmobile. Then they come back around 2:00 AM.
A few years ago we were dealing with 300 head every night. They came in a packed column 3/4 of a mile long.

Smoked boar shoulder with other eats, beer, and family. Sons bringing fireworks as the love of his life likes them, kinda new to me but if it makes them happy I’m in. Don’t know what the government thinks, don’t really care, my farm I’ll do what I want. They sell it, so guess we can light it off.
Was watching a Brian Shaw utube ( shawstrength, or “history’s strongest man”) and saw they were doing a show on revolutionary war strong man and had a segment on shooting the musket. I don’t have a musket, but a flint Tn mountain rifle. Thinking I may let some of them shoot it to get a feel of what it was really like “way back”. Most people now have probably never even seen a flintlock long rifle like used at Kings Mountain. A teaching moment and fun too boot!

Just saw a fine fireworks display over Indian Lake in Wright County MN. People seemed to be flexing their patriotic muscle. Hitting the hay with a good feeling.

The 4th is a big event here.
The big star shells have been going off around the neighborhood all night in bursts like micro wave pop corn.
It's 11 now, and that wonderful smell of clouds of burnt black powder has been in the air since it got dark.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Spent the day cutting grass and filling up my BIL's trailer with dirt. Wife worked in her garden and picked fresh string beans I had planted. It's 11:47pm here and you can still hear an ocansional boom, other than that pretty quiet 4th. Frank
yup I wish theyd ban the for good. For two nights before and after the 4th around here you cant sleep till after 11 because of idiots shooting them off. Mostly tourists that don't give rat's about if the locals are bothered by it. At least keep it to just the town display on the 4th.
