I gave my kid the fire safety talk after getting caught watching another kid playing with fire and not saying anything... It involved gasoline, carb cleaner and that extra long lighter. 30 seconds she was telling me to stop, and in about 45 she was crying. Lesson learned: fire can kill you and dad is a .
And +1 on the darwintology, shorter lines for the fire works, unless you get stuck in line behind the guy trying to pull out a credit card with his ring and pinky finger.

Same here. I worry about stuff landing on my roof and catching the house on fire. It gets crazy in my neck of the woods.
Similar here. The little stuff isn't bad, but too many bafoons nearby shoot off the big star burst aerial shells out of their backyards. You hear the WUMP from the launch out of the tube then the report in the air. But they're always aiming them angled away so the fallout doesn't float down onto their house but someone else's instead and THAT is what [censored] me off.
