Americans: what did you do this 4th of July 2015?

I stayed in my neighborhood and my neighbors set of fireworks. I have always been a big believer that fireworks should only be set of by municipalities with fire fighters nearby.

The fireworks were pretty good actually. Between all the neighbors it was almost $1,000 worth of fireworks (I didn’t chip in, 3 or 4 of the neighbors had each bought a couple of hundred worth of fireworks) and they all got together and set them off. Two fires were accidentally started, but they quickly controlled one and actually let it burn a while to use it to help light fireworks from what I understand, and the other fire they put out quickly. A couple of the guys got small burbs, not sure how.

Um, yeah, I’m more sure than ever municipalities should set them off. Still, it was a very nice display and people were out eating and drinking. Basically, a big block party.
