July 4th

Today is the Fourth of July. It is also known as Independence Day. To some people it is "Do Stupid Sh*t and Pay For It The Rest Of Your Life Day". Later in the evening people who have no expertise in pyrotechnics will line up packets of gunpowder and set them on fire. Some will be lucky and walk away. Others will not be lucky and go immediately to the emergency room. They will suffer burns and the loss of fingers. Then they will act surprised as if they had no idea this could happen. I will be sensible and stay in my house watching television.
