Dueling Fireworks

Hi!

The river is always wonderful, but it isn't as wonderful as being blessed with a visit from dear friends (a soul-sister and brother-in-choice) and we spent a wonderful evening chatting on my second story tree-deck. 

Then they left and neighbors across the street set off a bunch of firecrackers; then neighbors down the street and on the next block set off their fireworks and it sounded for a while like dueling fireworks or surround sound fireworks.  

It's been a noisy fireworks year, now that they're legal and all.  Apparently the 4th of July isn't going to be limited to the 4th of July fireworks-wise.  It will become like The Twelve Days of Christmas....

Enter:   The 12 Days of Independence Day 

On the first day of Independence Day, my true love gave to me, 
a case of Hammerhead Titanium

On the second day of Independence Day, my true love gave to me, 
Two Whistling Moons
and a case of Hammerhead Titanium

On the third day of Independence Day, my true love gave to me, 
Three M-80's
Two Whistling Moons
and a case of Hammerhead Titanium

....all the way up to: 

On the twelfth day of Independence Day, my true love gave to me, 

Twelve Crystal Flashes
Eleven Dynamite Strikes
Ten Pyramid Assortments
Nine Lady Fingers
Eight Neon Tracers
Seven Black Cat Mag Stars
Six Bottle Rockets
F-i-v-e C-h-e-r-r-y B-o-m-b-s
Four Roman Candles
Three M-80's
Two Whistling Moons
And a case of Hammerhead Titanium.


Happy Eighth Day of Independence Day Everyone!
