Fire in the Hole!

I have this feeling that posting today is like shouting into the void, but I can't help myself. It's a sickness really. Plus, we have no particular plans, other than spraying the cabbages to kill cabbage worms (wheeee!), so I might as well post to make my day seem worthwhile.

Fireworks are illegal in New York State, so everyone drives over the border to Pennsylvania and comes back with enough explosives to stage a minor war. We don't bother buying any because we are A) lazy, B) cheap, and C) right on the lake so we can sit on our beach and watch everyone else's fireworks with no danger to our own fingers.

Therefore, there will be no photos of fireworks on this site. But I did find a fire picture that I thought was close enough. Though possibly not as impressive. The MiL found a ground hornet nest under the magnolia by the house, and requested that A. take care of it. She was thinking of spraying some hornet poison down there. A. was thinking he would pour gasoline down the hole and then throw in a match. And that's what he did.

It's no Pyrotechnic Overload (this is an actual product, available from the fine folks at Phantom Fireworks!), but we DO still have all our fingers, so there is that.

May you have a happy and carnage-free holiday.
