Hey Griff, unknown user named Delux, Steve and whoever else is hanging.
Had a pretty quiet fourth here. Then this morning a garage fire about 3 streets over straight behind us got the neighborhood moving. I heard the sirens but didn't come out of the shop until I saw ash falling on the driveway.
Looks like their garage is a total loss, but it didn't spread to their house. The FD hit it pretty hard and fast. Not much else to report.

still have the safe-sane fireworks here in fillmore. fire dept and sheriff started cracking down on the illegal fireworks 2 years ago. $ 1000.00 fine if caught.
we sit up on a hill overlooking the town. look like shock and awe 3 years ago. this year about 9:30 pm the fire dept came over the scanner a reporter had and told his crew to head back to the station it was out of hand. surd did look pretty from top of the hill.

Morning Mr. Randy.
What it means is pretty clear. $1,000 fine.
That's what I meant. It's ignored by the masses, so there is safety in the masses. The cops and FD can't get around to more than a few citations. It's like the Lions on the African plain. They take down the weak, and the stupid. The stupid are especially tasty.
So, you'll get a fireworks citation and a fish and game citation. The cops will love you.
I don't have much use for fireworks personally any more. But it's a sad thing that the tradition is being killed by do-gooders. That's saddening, but it's heartening to see so many people still willing to celebrate the birth of our nation, with fireworks, laws contrary be damned. Our own little tea party.

had a good 4th, there were 2 different shows we could see from our camp site, and the illegals too. I always went to Downy where my grandparents lived to do fireworks every year, it was a blast.
