America 250th anniversary this year !

[Don Alaska]

Fireworks are futile here as it is generally too light to see them. People do set off the bang ones though or just step onto the back porch and shoot a shotgun. Our fireworks are done on New Years when it is dark and -40.

Our shotguns are used for New Year's Eve.

One of the special things happening this year was the Freedom Train, which has been working its way across America sine the spring of this year.
President Trump flew out to meet the train and rode on the train as it went on towards Washington DC, stopping along get way for people to wave at the president, just like happened back in the olden days when presidents went on trains to campaign instead of flying everywhere.

There are a multitude of things being televised on all the national TV stations. I will be well entertained.

I am already mentally preparing for the neighbors with the military artillery to start shooting off rounds upon multiple rounds of ammunition. I understand they feel the need to celebrate in a big way if they do that, but after their last episode, I pray my horses don’t colic and I lose my 30 something year-old horse over it. …….

It will be over until next year in no time. Your horses will be fine.

I am sure they will. If you haven’t figured out by now, I worry about what to worry about next.

It’s a personality trait that has long been recognized amongst my family and friends.

I'm the same way. But if we don't worry, where does the motivation to plan & prepare come from? You & I are ants in a world full of grasshoppers.

I'm right there with you @Connie Bennett and @John Brunner. I'm a worrier too.

Same here. I like to get the worrying done in advance.

Go bite a grasshopper!
Our sofa lion has no issues with bad weather or fireworks. A roaring lion on TV is another matter.

Our dumb-ass town is doing the fireworks display tomorrow night rather than on the 4th. I have no idea why they would make this decision. If they can't do it on the 4th, they should skip it altogether.

Dumb-ass town, eh? Sounds like Democrat 's trying to defy Trump by celebrating on the 5th. I bet your mayor got a personal memo from AOC. It smacks of that kind of genius.

Yesterday morning, I put out our four flags (on sticks) into the ground by our patio. We went to breakfast at 9AM, and the private lake on the other end of Loveland, people were already parking and setting up canopies to watch the fireworks display at 9PM over the lake. For us, at our age, "no way"! We watched, on tv, fireworks from NYC (on CNN) and Macy's Fireworks. Took some terrific iPhone 17 Pro videos of those firework displays. No gunfire that we know of and the other "booms" ended at midnight.

IOW, it was a rather nice 4th!

Town went wild as every year but the ban on bottle rockets was lifted after 45 years. Then came assistance from above in form of extreme weather.
