Well, I live in a fire hazard area where it is VERY dry. Home fireworks are illegal (although, that doesn't stop some people). However, tomorrow a local park is having a concert and a city fireworks display.

Yeah.. generally the cops are pretty strict when it comes to fireworks around here. At least, they were a few years ago. I was at my neighbors house, and we set off a few that go in the air. (I don't know my fireworks lingo) They weren't the M-80s. Anyway, we were like.. 12, and the cops showed up shining their flashlights in our faces and yelling at us.

It wasn't that big a deal.

However, at this very moment, I can look out my window, and see M-80s being let off in the middle of my street. The general rule around here is supposed to be that you're not allowed to set anything off that goes in the air. Corrupt Weirton cops, at their finest.

I've been hearing fireworks around here on and off for the past two days or so.

My poor cat is terrified of them, and he's been staying inside as often as he can. He hides under furniture and is only calm when one of us is around. We'll see how he handles tomorrow.

My dog hides under anything it can when fireworks go off.

I suppose most pets would, come to think of it...it's just something that I always associate with my dog.

What I don't understand, though, is why my other two cats seem to have no fear whatsoever. They're usually too focused on eating.

You'll be protecting your dog this holiday, I assume?

Happy 4th July to the members of the USA. Enjoy your day.

Working the nice 10 hour shift today. [/sarcasm]

I'm sure we're gonna get tons of customers tearing themselves away from their barbecues. I'm gonna make oodles of money.

Mista,

My daughter is a program director at Jenny Craig and she has to work today also. Now how many people are going to be concerned about their weight/diet and drop by Jenny Craig, today of all days?

Sure glad I'm off though!! (not to rub it in of course)

Haha, my dog doesn't hide from them.. he gets pissed at them. He barks like crazy and tries to jump over the fence so he can go pounce on them.

My dog is weird though... he hunts bumblebees. And sleeps ontop of his doghouse.. like Snoopy. I'm not lying either. Theres a big dent ontop of his doghouse from where he lays on it.

Haha I know what you mean about hunting bees. Anytime there is one flying against the window my dog tries to catch them and actually eats them!

I had a dog once.

It chased a bee across the street and was hit by this locally-famous bloke who carves bears out of trees.

Its legs fell off. Had to send it back to the factory for re-assembly.

Long story short, I can get a free wooden bear whenever I want.

Your dog's legs fell off?

Or is not even worth asking rational questions about this story.

Its legs were stuck in the wheel of the truck and torn off.

No, you know what? Fuck it. You're right. I ate ten sheets of blotter, stuffed some money in my ears, yelled "GLUBBA GLUBBA GLU!" and made up a story about my dog being ran over by a pickup truck.

I'm going to go bow my head in shame.

Would you like me to get you a bear statue, MistaMista?

Only if it's been previously adorned with saliva-ridden blotter, then sure, I'd love one.

Life sucks. Love sucks. Girls kill feelings. I am drunk. I type great drunk. Who agrees?

No you're not.

Glad to see New York's funding cut by 40% and now this is the 2nd terror plot that has been discovered and made public in the last month!?

Agreed 100%.

I'm ( )ing it up right now.

Stop following me, man, I've got places to be.

Pip pip, two palindromes in one; or a palindrome in two. Deemable futures becoming the past, drowning the future in righteousness poetry. Pottery to become pipippippipip.

Hey, I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class. Especially since I rule.

0223 is not a time for philosophy.

Clerks! "Shocking abuse of authority"

For any 80's music fans, my brother just sent me a link to this site - it has 1500 music videos.

Sweet, thanks for the link Gina!
