the neighbors hit the half off fireworks sale!

[cereal K]

they have some BIG explosives! they're gorgeous! h estimates that the three big displays we just saw would regularly be $300. so maybe it was more than 1/2 off!

i would seriously rather watch this from my garage or deck than go somewhere. these ain't bottlerockets!!

[cereal K]

okay - h thinks they stole them. or, at least, that what we were seeing couldn't be purchased anywhere normally.

if i had more ambition, i'd get the tripod and the camera out and try to take pictures. but i'm pretty comfy here in my lounge chair with my wine.

Nice! One of my neighbors a few houses down set off some really nice fireworks earlier too. It was def nice watching them from the couch and deck.

[UMaineTeach]

nice. too bad they might be stolen.

there was a lady on the news up here (this is only the 2nd 4th that fireworks are legal, so still a news story) who was planning on dropping $800 when they interviewed her in the store. I can't imagine blowing up $800 just b/c it's the 4th, but priorities I guess.

Hopefully they don't cause a fire on someones roof.

I am always so paranoid about this happening to me. There's a basketball court behind my house that everyone seems to think is the best place to light off illegal fireworks.

Hope  those fireworks weren't't stolen--maybe some friends from out of state brought them over?

Ugh someone in my hood is setting them off. Dogs are going nuts.

My neighbors must have too. The ones they are setting off are illegal in MN but I'm 5 miles from the WI border so I'm sure they got them there. They woke DD up so I'm not happy.

sorry - the stolen thing was a joke. i feel pretty confident they weren't. maybe something closer to someone knowing someone that procures larger fireworks for cities and towns.

i would be a lot more pissed about this if C didn't sleep straight through them. or if they were anywhere close to our roof.
