Fireworks

Good thing the fireworks weren't affected by the troubles in China! Beyond sparklers, I don't need to have personal fireworks so the price increases don't affect me.

While prices are going up and there were rumors of shortages, I don't think it's going to affect my life; there are always fireworks in several locations in the city, along with many suburbs. My suburb doesn't have fireworks for 4th of July, theirs occur during the annual festival in September.

Around here, there are fireworks as part of many other events throughout summer, including the Aquatennial and the State Fair.

Never mind the neighbors, who seem to have fireworks that are illegal here.
