Fourth of July Thoughts...from a grumpy old man
Just got back from watching a local small town Fireworks show. Some thoughts:

Why do people bring dogs to fireworks shows? Dogs HATE fireworks. All they do is growl and bark the whole time. It's not fun for the dog, or for the people sitting around the stupid people who brought their dog. Leave Fido at home. He can do without the loud noises.

Why do people bring toddlers to fireworks shows? See comments about dogs, same applies to little kids. They HATE the loud noises and they just scream and cry the whole time. Wait till your kids are old enough to understand what is going on. Otherwise, it's trauma for the kid, and a drag for everyone sitting around you.

Bring a chair that folds up quickly. Some of those camp chairs take ten minutes to get out of the bag, and 20 minutes to put back into the bag. Bring something simple, like a good old fashion blanket, or a old fashion nylon and aluminum folding lawn chair.

Also, why do people who can least afford to blow money always seem to have hundreds of dollars worth of bottle rockets, whizzing screamers and fountains? Oh sure, they have a 30 pack of Keystone and a carton of Generic Cigarettes, but won't be able to pay the light bill when it comes due on July 15th. Mostly because they blew the light bill on bottle rockets. Just go to your local fireworks show, and save your money.

God Bless America!

And the chatters' loud blare
Conversation in air
Gave proof through the night
That the jerks were still there
O say does that star-spangled
banner yet flow,
O'er the land of the rude
and the home of the slow CHIEFS!

My kids are finally at an age that they enjoy fireworks. So, we spent a fair amount this year for the first time along with several other neighbors. We had a hell of a lot of fun.

Actually it's more like sending your money up into the sky and blowing it up in a colorful explosion.

Bring a chair that folds up quickly. Some of those camp chairs take ten minutes to get out of the bag, and 20 minutes to put back into the bag. Bring something simple, like a good old fashion blanket, or a old fashion nylon and aluminum folding lawn chair.

I leave my dog at home. That's a bad idea taking them because they hate the loud bangs.

Seriously? You're bitching because some people got rid of their 1950s aluminum lawn chairs and replaced them with modern lawn chairs that are twice as comfortable, easier to carry, and have built-in cup holders?

You ARE a grumpy old man.
