Today we were shopping for groceries when Paul noticed this display of fireworks in the middle of the store. Yes, I said FIREWORKS. At first when I was looking at them, I had my California sensibilities in mind. I thought they were mostly those harmless party popper and those little loud snap-it/pop-it white things. Upon further inspection, I realized these… Read more »
