Wasn't done last year as well, in Oz? We have unhealthful air in the South Coast Air Basin- a region along California that is bowl-like and holds in smog. The amount of fireworks detonated on the 4th is a major contributor. If it gets over 105° F the inversion layer breaks up due to convection and the smog clears up. But it's worse, short term because all the smog is now hotter, too.

Out of where?

More to the point, do we have her phone number? That sounds like one hell of a roll in the hay.

With roman candles I think I'd opt for a pool.

This evening at a firework display event two sisters went after each other with knives. It was reported that both had been drinking all day.

Dial the stupids up to 11, and they can be explosive. A significant portion of Americans generally hover around 17.
