You can't legaly buy fireworks in MA

Mental Note: Vist New York City next year for the Fourth of July. For whatever reason, we didn't go see the fireworks in person last night and ended up watching them on TV. We watched them from Washington DC, New York City, and Boston. I went to sleep before the ones in Boston went off, but when they cut to commercial breck during the 1812 Overture, I didn't have much hope in them. The fireworks in Washington DC were nice, from what we saw of them. The camera crew went a little crazy, showing everything but the fireworks. Instead there was tons of shots of people standing in the reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument.

But the fireworks in New York City were spectacular and Mama said that they were the best she ever saw, even better than the ones during the Bicentenial.

Today, were really doing nothing excpet having Auntie Linda over for pork chops and Papa's complainging about his wrists because he fell last night and they're sore and right now he's trying this air activated heating pad.

You post caught my eye for a couple of reasons #1, I'm a MA native with a misspent youth of buying fireworks in New Hampshire and Maine, and driving them back across the border

#2 I had the pleasure of having grandstand tickets to the Macy's fireworks in NY. They were absolutely amazing. Beyond words. Ruined me for all other fireworks. I highly recomend it.

Yeah, my dad did somthing like that with some assorted friends/realtives in his misspent youth and spent a night in jail because of it.

But it's werid because in the last two places I lived it was very leagal to get the stuff and it's all over the place so the Fourth is very, very loud.

But it's always nice to "meet" new people... as long as I happen to be at least a mile away.
