4th of July plans?

Captain Blood · 07-04-2018, 04:58 PM

I did not know one man had almost single-handedly cornered the fireworks market.

Happy July 4/Independence Day to all the American posters that I respect, even if I don't always agree with. It's too bad the US has become so divided ideologically.

I spent both July 4, 1978 and July 4, 1983 in Houston, TX and Denver, CO respectively; and enjoyed both immensely with a number of neighbors and work friends. Great people and great times when I lived there. Not sure it is as good any more....

Promised meats consumed, cigar lit, whisky poured... neighborhood kids fireworks are weak!

Edit: of course being New Orleans, it’s hard to tell fireworks from small arms fire in the distance! Happy I’m sitting on my covered porch...

I'm a bit crispy this morning. I looked over and saw 1:21 as bright explosions were still erupting in the sky. Alarm is set for 5:30 . . . I'm all for having some fun, but car alarms and explosions in the sky should not be occurring at 1:21 on a school night!!!

And GET OFF MY LAWN!!!! #whippersnappers

Seriously, for me the 4th of July,
is quite poignant I landed properly as a permanent resident on 4/7/10
I got my visa in 2009, landed and had to go back to sell my house
started my first real job in Canada on the 2nd jul 2012

And now 9 years later the bastards are not gonna make me give up my
British Passport. A Canadian passport is as much use as Maple Syrup on a
on a NAFTA agreement.

LOL,

Within 2 years , I went through the most stressful things you ever wanna go through
Selling house, quiting job, immigrating (leaving friends, family, church) , getting married, getting pregnant
father dieing in Canada while on Holiday, having to deal with funeral arrangements, re-patriating
family squabbles over "his" will, personal issues with 2 OD's

I can quite categorically say that in the words of Harry Enfield
"You don't wanna do it like that"

Happy independence day to my bimmer bros and hoes south of the border
