those kids were launching fireworks at each other

My dog goes crazy if I launch fireworks by clawing into my leg. I stay home to calm him down and watch Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day, everyone! Hereās to another 239 years!
By me, there was an amazing fireworks display. It was awesome. Probably the best one Iāve ever seen. I donāt envy anyone who canāt see such awesomeness.
Since my parents donāt want to see fireworks, I have to stay at home.
So all I get to hear now is the noise of illegal fireworks and super-loud small ones.
Like I said, I donāt envy you. Where I live, fireworks arenāt illegal, and I (being a fourteen year old) could buy them whenever I wanted, though, certain cities have ordinances forbidding them, but thatās what farmland is for.
Not all fireworks are illegal. The legal ones can only go up to 6-8 feet because Oregon doesnāt want forest fires,
So you have to have a permit for the big ones.
Are bottle rockets illegal? Roman Candles? Fire Crackers?
Yes, all of those are illegal. They donāt want fires for trees and buildings.
I used to live in Washington where all those were legal. But since we moved to Oregon, we canāt have any of those.
Wow. I canāt even imagine how boring it must be for you. I do understand Oregonās reasoning, but man, thatās just no fun. Sorry @Chronicler. Can you at least have sparklers?
Yes, we can have sparklers. And we can have fireworks that shoot up to 6-8 feet up in the air. Itās small but kinda entertaining. (oh, and we can get poppers, too. So that means we still get to hit each otherās feet with it!)
Itās more fun to see fireworks set up by the city. Where I live, the city puts up a fireworks show in the park. But my parents couldnāt drive to it, so I have to stay at home and hear the small explosions that sound waaaaay too close to my house and hope my house doesnāt blow up.
I spend my Independence day eating burgers and watching stuff about our founding fathers and stuff. That ends up to become entertaining.
Oh. Are the city displays cool? As I said above:
Also, (and, donāt try this in Oregon or anywhere that fireworks are illegal) it is REALLY fun to light a bunch of sparklers all at once. The light is so bright that it can make you lose vision for a few seconds. Also, tying (or use a rubber band) sparklers to bottle rockets, lighting the sparkler first, and letting the spark ignite the bottle rocket wick. The sparkler will give the rocket a cool streak as it flies into the air, and, well they both just explode. Man, FIREWORKS ARE FUN!
They can be, yes. But they donāt try the dangerous stuff you described. :S
Thatās just stuff that Iāve done with family friends. They get pretty crazy. Also, every Memorial Day and Labor Day, my aunt and uncle have parties, and they always buy at least a hundred dollars worth of fireworks (it gets more expensive and awesome every time), and I always end up lighting one huge box of rockets. Last party, I lit off Untamed Retribution
16 shots. Last 43 seconds. It was amazing, and a good finale to the party.
SO
now that the funās over, letās shut this topic down until next time, kay?
