My sympathies for all you out there that can't get anything better then smoke balls and sparklers--sigh! Darned if the government isn't out there to protect us from ourselves!!

From reading your posts, I just wish I could send you "care" packages for a great 4th. Still for those of you who don't know this, but...with sparklers and a bit of duct tape you can still raddle your neighbors windows--ha! But you didn't hear that from me
