Yeah, we were able to get some really good ones this year that went up loud and blew up high. Feel Sorry for the people in The People's Republic Oregon as they are not allowed to buy anything that explodes higher that 12 ft or some crap. We had some fireworks block wars that rival some of the nations home town shows. Did not hear too many birds this AM ,.. I think they are still in shock with the 1000 yard stare.
