I wasn’t always a dyed-in-the-wool fireworks lover. As a matter of fact, I was scared to death when my father first showed me a lighted sparkler way back on the Fourth of July in 1952. To my five-year-old self, the fiery wire looked like a snake that would bite my hand if I got too close.
When the show was over, the audience yelled for more. But all I wanted to do was go to bed, and try to fight off the nightmares. Slowly but surely, my interest in pyrotechnics grew. I observed how the artistry and suspense of a good fireworks show could enthrall a crowd. Will that firework be loud or quiet? Will it start by shooting a silvery comet followed by a gigantic blooming flower? Will it whistle or crackle? The audience has to wait and see, responding to each new effect with cheers.
For me, the Fourth of July would not be festive without the fireworks. Holidays are about traditions and about family. Independence Day is no exception. But as my dad used to say, “It ain’t the Fourth without burning a little patriotic powder!” He was right. He was ever so right. Just don’t forget the safety glasses.
THINK July fourth is over. Time to move on.
THINK Well, since they have been booming in my neighborhood for the last hour without sign of stopping and I need to get to bed, I am going to say that I dread them.
THINK Dreaded now thanks to selfish idiotic neighbors.
THINK Totally dreaded
THINK For libtards dreaded, PATRIOTS BELOVED!
THINK I used to love to buy a bunch of legal fireworks, have a BBQ with family and friends then we lite all the fireworks off in one paved area. We had a hose there and a large bucket of water!!! But nowadays people have lost their brains apparently. Sadly not all follow safety rules😢
THINK In Texas they are legal 365 days a year. It's a nightmare.
THINK Fireworks would be a staple and never looked at as a dreaded thing if people would only shoot their crap off on the 4th of July! Not 2 weeks before, not 2 weeks after. I try not to judge people’s hobbies, but fireworks aren’t hobbies, they’re just dumb.
THINK Dreaded. Dogs do not love.
THINK Only the left wing hates fireworks.
THINK Opinion On Fireworks?
THINK Dreaded for all us with family pets
THINK The 4th it’s not for black people it’s for the Caucasian race
