Here are a few reasons to love the 4th:
For a couple of weeks out of the year, it is legal to buy and detonate crazy fun explosives.
You have a reason to deafen the neighbors and the sheriff stops by to ask you to be careful.
The 4th is a time for family reunions with delicious food and opportunities to meet relatives you didn’t even know you had.
The challenge of trying to get the most fireworks for your money and hunting down the coolest and newest firework is almost as fun as detonating them.
It’s socially acceptable to do crazy fun science experiments with explosives like trying to create a cremora fireball.
You get an extra day off work.
You get to watch professional fireworks displays.
And did I mention fireworks????
Now, back to my best Fiona/Burn Notice impression.
