Katie K had a bag of fireworks, so I dropped by her place last night, and in the pile of dirt conveniently left behind her place by the construction of the ‘group of Seven themed condos next door which has displaced one of the largest crow rookeries in BC”, we set them off. Then when I got up this morning there was a facebook question asking my first memory… which was fireworks. About some things, anyway, I am consistent.
Watched the first episode of Heroes last night. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
I think that it is really unfortunate that the hand wringing bleeding hearts have won and fireworks have gone the way of so much other childhood fun. Some of my fondest memories are of setting off cannon crackers and having bottle rocket duels in a back alley.
