Happy Independence Day America!

Go pickup your books, watch the History channel or checkout Wikipedia to get more background that is taught in our schools.

To the British, we carry on what was one in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and we stand with you.

If you are a student of history, I suggest doing a compare/contract of the American and French revolutions. It is quite amazing. The Khan Academy has a lot of information on the French Revolution. Once you do that, perhaps pickup George Orwell's Animal Farm and give it a quick read. Finally, find information on the Glorious Revolution of 1688 (in Britain) and see where you can find the ties that bind us together.

Long live liberty!

Fireworks are not allowed where I live...at all

. County ordinance. We just moved up here about 7-8 months ago because I got tired of commuting. So, we just go to my wife's family's which is about an hour down the highway where we used to live.

You mean you didn't know rules were made to be broken?

You would get caught super easy. Cops patrolling like crazy. Plus, something would probably catch fire haha. I live in a mountain city and its super hot, 100 plus, and dry and nowhere within 50 miles to buy fireworks - my wife's family lives 55 miles so its just a easy haha.

All of my wife's family live on the same block. Lots of fireworks and food

. Plus everyone we know live there.

Here in SoCal, I think the only legal firework displays are the ones at Disneyland and over stadiums, lakes, and the Pacific ocean. Because of the fire hazzard, it's difficult to imagine even firecrackers being allowed anymore. I have no idea where all of these Piccolo Petes, M-80s, and ground-blooming flowers are coming from this year, but I have a good idea (gotta check what language is on the newspapers they are made out of).

I wasn't gonna come right out and say that, but after talking with a few people who did know somebody who went down to Mexico and bought illegal fireworks, that's the most likely source. There's also a lot of cheap and unsafe fireworks coming out of China, too, but I don't know how common they are over here.

And the fireworks show I saw down in the Laguna Niguel area was unbelievable. Just when you think they can't possibly come up with more firework designs, behaviors, and colors you see something new.
