Serious nostalgia attack. Was remembering the old Heathkit, back when you could build ANYTHING out of components.
It's a sad society when you have to smuggle fizzy little sparklers in from out of state for the Fourth of July. Not that I would do anything like that of course, here in the People's Republic of California.
Vacationed in Wyoming last summer. Great to be in a state where someone with a gun over his shoulder or on his hip is no big deal, and they can smoke without being sent to a reeducation camp. And you can get the really GOOD fireworks. You know, the ones with "Minuteman" partially scratched off the sides...
