^Agreed.
As a kid, and even now today I love fireworks. The shows are impressive up close and even far off. As a kid we would watch fireworks every day being shot off at Disneyland from our motel parking lot. A few years ago me and my lady went down to Huntington Beach for the celebrations. Most impressive show I've seen, such satisfying booms and HUUUUGE explosions of color. Sitting in our little hand dug sand chairs, I was mesmerized-and it was free! I can understand the appeal of lighting off your own fireworks and all, hell used to do it myself-but that stuff is expensive and doesn't hold a candle to the pro shows. Curious how the poorer are quite willing to blow that money-literally up in smoke, hundreds of dollars worth, and yet there are free or inexpensive shows all over.
