Fireworks or Thunderbolt: You Decide
Fourth of July weekend was beautiful this year. The weather seemed perfect, so where did the lightning bolt come from that struck this man. Actually this is a St. Louis resident carelessly shooting a rocket out of a roman candle. I enjoy shooting off fireworks as much as the next guy, in fact probably more than the next guy. Also, I've been known to get excited and be careless. Maybe we are a little too lenient in allowing fireworks to be shot at will in the city. As I drove around the city at night this past weekend there were fireworks being shot off from peoples front porches, roof tops, and even out of cars. While fireworks are undoubtebly better than that old St. Louis tradition of shooting of guns, maybe they should be kept in check even 4th of July weekend. Or maybe I'm just a killjoy.
