Here we go again, enduring hours of legal and illegal fireworks,
fraying the nerves of pets like Casey and Stella, but also more distressingly
triggering PTSD symptoms in local combat veterans. Every year we have to wonder
why we didn’t travel an hour north to Vancouver to get away from these moronic,
irresponsible displays of 4th of July jingo-patriotism
from American males and Rambo wannabees. God forbid we consider the colossal
waste of money during an economic collapse, while destroying what’s left
of the atmosphere.
While we wait for tonight’s cease fire and tomorrow's 4th of July Darwin Awards, here are some
alternative displays of color that don’t leave any ash residue or clouds of
cordite, and if anything we look forward to each year.
