Fireworks in Bealeton

I hate to be catty...but I drank a glass of wine and it went right to my head so what the hell...

Ok, so my friend Margie asked the neighbors if they were doing a 4th of July party like last year. They told her no they weren't. But I look outside shortly before 9pm. There wasn't a party, but there was a nice gathering for fireworks. Like why not say "hey we aren't doing a party per se, but feel free to watch our fireworks and if you got some, bring some. But no biggie if you don't."

But whatever, we had fireworks and we still watched theirs from my stoop. And the illegal towing company down the street even invited us to watch fireworks at their place too. They had awesome, big firworks. You know the kind that are the size of a coffee can before you light them.

I have to say, this is the best benefit of living in VA. Fireworks are legal. Well not ALL fireworks. The ones that launch aren't legal. But we don't give a rats ass in Bealeton. We don't have a police station or fire company. So who aren't here really gives a shit? No one. Even my straight as arrow neighbors got the launchers. Legal fireworks rule. Illegal ones rock.

It was awesome. Not only did we have fireworks. But neighbors on all sides had them. Margie's son was going nuts over watching them all. He was laughing and doing a happy dance while watching all the visual stimulation. He could barely keep up with which fireworks were coming from where. They could be coming from the cul-de-sac in front of us, or the one behind us, or they could be coming from the field down the road. We even waited to start our fireworks until we finished watching some of our neighbors.

Nothing like a neighborhood effort to make fourth of July in Bealeton fun.

But I have one complaint...who names a firework 'Golden showers'
Some sick bastard that's who.

Tomorrow: I owe Silver a post...big time...it'll be good, i promise..
