I enjoyed it as a kid, of course very much under appreciating how dangerous it was to shoot bottle rockets at each other and such. Lost a lot of appeal after 20 or so. Or maybe city living.. if you have a dog that starts shivering in fear when one goes off, they are really a pain in the ass... so if they’re illegal and you’re lighting them off in a neighborhood don’t be surprised if you’re pissing your neighbors off and/or getting the cops called on you. Dog seems to get worse every year, so the 4th isn’t our favorite holiday.
