Dampened Fireworks

Back home, and catching up on news, I see that there were several fireworks accidents here in NoVA last night.

The one that will get the most press is the one on the National Mall; second will be the one in Vienna VA, where SWMBO and I spent many memorable Fourths, before our gracious host and hostess moved to West Virginia, as detailed here.

I wonder how many draconian regulations will issue from these two accidents, probably from the Federal level1. Just wait until next July 4, when we’ll be treated with computer simulations of fireworks on the JumboTron.

Happy Cyber-Birthday, America.

1 I’ve been personally involved in fireworks accidents myself. I blame the introduction of $4.99 per case Old Milwaukee, in the days of my misspent youth.
