Cliff, your neighbor to the south has perfected "Blowing things up " to an art form.
Hospital Emergency rooms should be busy today and tomorrow. Plus fireman, some one always sets a house or two on fire from stray fireworks.
Then there are the lost dogs and cats that left outside, get scared and run away !
When our son was young we would take him to public firework demonstrations.
Then starting when he was four, we showed him a $20.00 bill. We told him we could take it and buy fireworks...in essence burn it up.
OR we could give him the $20.00 and he could go to the toy store !
That worked ....he started his vast lego collection and added to it every year. No home done fireworks, only public displays.
Why, you ask ? My brother almost took his arm off by placing a cherry bomb in a tin can...My sister caught her clothes on fire from a sparkler...
