We got out of Dodge on Saturday – and actually got to drive for a couple of hours. I began the trip with a nap, and awoke to a paradisiacal vision – an entire highway exit devoted to fireworks’ sales! “Fireworks City.”
As I longingly eyed the many outlets, I had that subtle thought about how they really are illegal, and I suppose that is where most of my “neighbors” go for their big displays. We were operating on a time line so I didn’t bother to mention stopping. Also, it really would have been way to tempting to walk in there and walk out with nothing. But I can smell the gunpowder as I write and see the vibrant colors in the night sky.
Unfortunately, I can also smell the smoke from the wildfires burning hundreds of miles away and see the glorious sunsets via the Saharan sands. So don’t worry…I’m still leaving the displays to the big guns of the city. Just day dreaming again.
