Day One! 2007

2007 Started out with big bang here at our house. At the stroke of midnight we lit fuses on more than three thousand firecrackers all at the same time. The power generated by the explosions actually shattered a clay flower pot that was sitting close by. The sound was deafening and definitely got the attention of the neighbors. It was fucking aw-some. Our neighbors up the street were setting off some Hugh mortars that shook the ground when they went off.

I had a coffee can slam full of bottle rockets and thought "hey, I will just light them from the can they were in" bad move. As I lit the first bottle rocket I knocked the can over which caused other rockets to ignite and the chain reaction led to all of them going off at once. It was funny because everybody ran for the hills when the can went over. There is one thing I realized while doing these fireworks in the rain and that is, less chance of any fires getting started by fireworks. As wet as it was that night we never feared it happening which allowed us to focus on the fun and not the "what If".
It was the best fun we could have considering how much it was raining. We were wet most of the time.

The worst part of the evening was not having all our friends over to bring in the new year. We were all together in spirit.

All in all it was a blast "No pun Intended" LOL.

Pray for Peace and have a Healthy, productive 2007
