Try to keep my cats and dogs from going crazy (me too)with all the explosions. Fireworks are not for everyone but everyone has to endure them anyway.

Fightin' the Nanny State. I want to celebrate like they use to. Give me street cars and blasting caps!
From the 100 year ago article:
"The dynamite cap and the street car furnished the most popular means of celebrating and as long as the cars kept up their runs the tracks were kept well covered with the explosive caps."

So far; 10 bowling pins splintered beyond recognition with the .44. 12 cans of 4 year old root beer (hot) destroyed with .45acp. Asstd. paper bullseye targets riddled with .38, .45, .44, .40, .9mm, .22LR.
Multiple paper zombies obliterated.
All while fully clothed.
And sober.
The day is young.

Sweating is the only thing for sure. They are up in the air. I know it is a dry heat, but it still sucks to be outside.
Take me to the Collegiate peaks in Colorado please. The parade in Crested Butte is a blast.
