this slumbernut will be dedicated to legal fireworks for the general joy and non-startled-ness, which is probably not a word anyway
It's a word now!

BUT, in speaking of fireworks this company, a sort of SoCal local company, is a family-run, fifth generation outfit that does a ton of the big shows around the country (at the very least), including the olympics in Atlanta and the ones in SLC. On edit: they do some international shows too, including the Jerusalem 3000 celebration.
I remember seeing a pbs thing about them, where they talked about how they planned shows and prepared for them. The special also mentioned that some fireworks have to be hand packed because machinery + explosives = bad.

Allyson painted that. Makes me giggle.
Also, I'm trying to figure out where I can get a pocket constitution. I just don't want to order 20 of them (for $20). I used to be able to get them for free... but how?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Did you see upthread that yesterday I saw your American döppleganger? And that she's married to a pirate?

Sheryl, I bet you can get free boxes on craigslist, now that people have moved in for 7/1.
