My neighbor down the road puts on a hell of a display every year. Easily 3 or 4k worth. We used to sit on the front porch and watch the first few years we lived here but after 14 years of it I'm so sick of fireworks I don't give a damn if I ever see another before I die. I suppose the noise and bright colored lights are endlessly entertaining for you retards though.

Neighbors have three little kids and they bought four or five fountains to thrill them. I bought a $60 assortment to add to that. But I was gobsmacked at the prices. There were literally hundreds of individual devices priced anywhere from $50 to $200 EACH. No damn wonder it was pretty quiet around here last night. My assortment has three or four fountains and the same number of aerials. The rest are junk like sparklers, smoke bombs, and those black snake things.
Oh, and this is the first year in a long time that fireworks of any kind are allowed in my area of town due to drought.

I get it. Not everyone has a place to shoot fireworks. Anyone going to watch some fireworks ? the "Big" city of Appleton fireworks show is a 1/4 mi due east of me... watched it from my deck last night... I’m in Wisconsin for 12 days giving the various teams a break. I heard something shooting off last few nights but I’m not sure how close to Appleton I am. Think I’m fairly close. Janesville area, can’t recall last time I flew to Appleton if I came through Madison. Sorta think Chicago but with too many flights a week I can’t remember much accurately.

Looks like I flew through Milwaukee last time. I’m 100 miles out so must have been some locals having fun.

Oh, and this is the first year in a long time that fireworks of any kind are allowed in my area of town due to drought. RR, I recall buying some out of season for my daughters first birthday. Jokers were probably $150/each out of season. Wasn’t legal where we lived then. Told my wife I’d just light one. It was a Grand Finale type and kids still talk about it. Actually I’m surprised they haven’t jumped in price. I recall a coworker 15 years ago or more would spend $2-3k on them and seems they’ve gotten better quality but similar price. Where we are now has the drone display. Looks pretty cool but I’m not there to take kids.

I couldn’t believe the prices on fireworks this year. I figure it’s worth $100 anyway to have some fun once a year with some. Private fireworks displays are illegal here. Within city limits, prohibited by city ordinance. Outside the city limits, fire season has already started. What I sometimes do is wait 'til the 5th or 6th, buy the discounted fireworks, and save them for New Years when it's so wet you couldn't light gasoline with a blow torch. I've got the irrigation running .. I've watered the hay field, woods out away from the house, lawn on one side, and lawn on the other is .. hey, sprinklers just quit, so it's time to do that now! Later ...

Fireworks? Nada! But a condom full of oxygen and acetylene makes a bang better than a pound of Tannerite, and the gas costs less than a nickel!

In Utah, they sell more fireworks for July 24th than the 4th. That's our "Pioneer Day" when ol' Brigham supposedly entered the promised land saying "This is the place." (My theory is that his #1 wife told him "The first time we see water, that's the place, you ass.")

LOL PS-Love the freeloading.

Adult Kids come over now and bring the safe n' sane BS over the weekend Used to go watch the the Barron Hilton display out in the Delta for several decades. Sandwich maker and I will sit on the porch this evening and watch the Local Minor BBall team extravaganza about a mile away. Kids bring food now as well.

So California doesn’t allow you to shoot fireworks? Got it?
