Happy 4th of July!!

I’ve always loved fireworks. Sparklers are still my favorite even though I burned my finger when I was little. :lol: Sadly, in the city where I grew up (next to the one I live in now), there is zero tolerance for fireworks of any kind. Fire danger. I heard that this year fireworks are banned in a lot of places, too. How about where you are? Are fireworks allowed today?

Anyway, here is a fireworks show from 2008 in New York. At the time, it used the largest number of explosives than any display in the United States. Very impressive. Enjoy, and Happy 4th everyone!


Five Myths about the American Flag

Five Myths about the Anmerican Flag

On the eve of our country’s birthday, I found this article. Common knowledge is sometimes wrong. I thought that Betsy Ross made the first American flag. Nope. She sewed flags, but there’s no evidence that she designed or created the first one. Bummer. Makes for a good stoy though.
