I was ok setting them off myself until I was about 20 when a neighbor accidentally shot a firework into our garage while we were in there and almost caught our house on fire. Since then it is just sparklers and snap n pops and smoke bombs. I do like watching them at the ballpark though on fireworks night but I won't shoot off anymore myself.

I watched the Boston Pops on TV last night and was surprised at how late the actual fireworks started (10:30).

I mean it's all relative right?

Speaking of relatives, are you sure you aren't my older brother's long lost twin or something? It's equal parts weird/cool to read all the stuff I can easily imagine him saying on BO.

You have nothing to worry about. Everyone knows you were there for me years before JP even joined Blowout.

Dad Killed After Reportedly Placing Lit Firework on His Head

We will probably see more of these stories come out soon. It happens every year.

Good luck with that scholarship, kid.

Maybe he can pivot and go for an academic one instead.
