Harry P. Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Fireworks in the hood ALL night long! must have been a good party Same here! What's up with that? Since when is June 29 a "fireworks holiday?"
Rob Hall Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Same here! What's up with that? Since when is June 29 a "fireworks holiday?" People getting an early start on July 4th?
Mike Kucaba Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Here in AZ (where it is now dryer than a popcorn F---) the brain trust (AKA the statelegislature ) has legalized fire works sales. Can you say Forest Fires.
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 People getting an early start on July 4th? Really early... Is June 29 some sort of ethnic holiday (like Cinco de Mayo or something) that I don't know about? Edit: OK, I looked it up. June 29 is National Camera Day. Guess that explains all the fireworks...
High octane Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 In my area people tend to "practice" shooting fireworks 'bout a week before the 4th so It's something I have to get used to. With the way the economy is, it has surprised me over the years how many people can afford them. I guess it's a lot like smokers affording to be able to smoke? Wouldn't it just be easier to take a match and light up a hundred dollar bill?
Danno Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Here in AZ (where it is now dryer than a popcorn F---) the brain trust (AKA the statelegislature ) has legalized fire works sales. Can you say Forest Fires. That's special-interest lobbying at its finest, Mike. It is now legal for fireworks distributors and retailers to sell fireworks anywhere in the state, year-round. But it is still illegal to use them virtually anywhere.
Joe Handley Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Same here! What's up with that? Since when is June 29 a "fireworks holiday?" I thought we had that here too Harry (wouldn't have been a surprise), but it ended up being thunder and lightening instead!
Danno Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Fireworks in the hood ALL night long! must have been a good party Better fireworks going off in the hood all night than firearms.
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I thought we had that here too Harry (wouldn't have been a surprise), but it ended up being thunder and lightening instead! Maybe it was thunder... it rained pretty hard later that night.
Danno Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe it was thunder... it rained pretty hard later that night. Rain. The term sounds vaguely familiar. Something from the way distant past. What IS 'rain?'
High octane Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Danno, you can buy fireworks, but you can't use them? Hmmmm sounds like back in the 60's as well as today. You can have loud mufflers installed at a muffler shop, but it's illegal to use them on the street. Kinda like a "double standard", no?
Rob Hall Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 IIRC, Colorado has a similar law regarding fireworks. Doesn't make a lot of sense..
Rob Hall Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Rain. The term sounds vaguely familiar. Something from the way distant past. What IS 'rain?' Water that comes from the sky..though lately I'm used to seeing water outside only come out of a hose (when filling the pool) or the sprinklers
cobraman Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Rain ? I heard tell of such a thing. Sounds interesting.
Guest Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Better fireworks going off in the hood all night than firearms. Both here. Our neighbors 2 lots down. I wonder if it is legal to shoot here?
Tom Geiger Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I think it's graduation partys. We were invited to the kid next door's graduation party Saturday night. He had a bunch of kids sleeping over, his dad was collecting all their keys, so I assume alcohol was present. He didn't have any fireworks. I heard them out on their deck around 3am. So they tried to party all night long! And Pennsylvania is one of those states with fireworks stores at the borders. They say they only sell to out of staters, not to PA residents since fireworks are illegal. Funny thing, fireworks are illegal in the bordering states too, but that doesn't seem to be their issue.
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 And Pennsylvania is one of those states with fireworks stores at the borders. Same here. Around the 4th, billboards pop up in the metro area advertising the big fireworks stores in Indiana. Of course, the fact that it's a FEDERAL OFFENSE to transport fireworks from Indiana across the border into Illinois is conveniently left off said billboards.
High octane Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I filled a couple of medical claim forms six weeks ago and still haven't heard from them or received payment that was due to me. Well today I decided to call them and after three "go arounds" with the robot recordings I had to call the fourth time and finally got to talk to a human. That wasn't much better as he told me that my claim was denied. What do these "office" people do all day, and when were they going to tell me this, on Christmas??? So now I need to send them even more info and wait who knows how long for money that's due to me. If those clowns were workin' for me I'd pull a "Donald" (Trump) on them and FIRE them all. Yep that "irked" me today.
Old Buckaroo Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Same here! What's up with that? Since when is June 29 a "fireworks holiday?" Maybe everyone was celebrating our wedding anniversary - 24 years yesterday !
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 What I find amazing is that they are still sellihg fireworks. In a time where common sense isn't common and fireworks definitely require it for use. Just did a bag of microwave popcorn and most are purely common sense. Caution contents will be hot. Really. As far as the federal offense postings there are people that read it and then do it anyway because they think they won't get caught.
Agent G Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 111 here today and we haven't seen rain in, oh, months. The brain trust here has also allowed for the sale of fireworks. Marvelous. We have been under a severe drought and firewatch all year so far. G
