jaunthie…by eating lots of food and blowing things up. Yes, Americans love to show their patriotism by setting off huge quantities of small explosives. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fisherbear and I went to the annual 4th of July party hosted by Uncle Andrew and She’s Jake To Me. They live in a section of town where fireworks are legal, so everyone brought some to share. By the end of the festivities (ours, anyway; the people who live across the street from them were still misfiring fireworks with gleeful disregard for their own safety), there was so much smoke in the air you could barely see more than a block away. I was particularly amused by the visiting exchange students from a few houses away who kept venturing closer to us, obviously fascinated by the ongoing pyrotechnics in the driveway. They must think Americans are nuts, but by the end of the show, they were smiling, waving, and thanking us, so I guess we’ve done our bit towards improving America’s image in the world.
