Happy Independence Day!
Well, it’s not happy for everyone. Many people are powerless from recent storms, which can be deadly during a massive heat wave like the one we’re experiencing now.
When the weather this hot and dry, wildfires are a real danger too. Check with your community to see if any burn bans have been issued. If so, shooting off fireworks will probably be forbidden. In any case it’s not the smartest thing to do in drought conditions.

Hope you enjoyed your Independence Day Elizabeth. Two families in my local area had tragedies to occur during this time.
Aww, I’m sorry to hear that, Wanda. We had one down the street just the other day.
No, I really didn’t enjoy it. Egon broke up with me. :(
