Crackle… Run… Thump… Bang!
This (270KB WMV) is why I’m glad I’m able to get away from the wet-blanket nannies of the city and celebrate the 4th the way it was meant to be. Even though they seem to be making some things weaker every year (i.e. M-150s…), other items seem to be getting better all the time, like the artillery shells and the multi-shot display items. With the quality, though, comes increased prices. However, you can still find some impressive items (1.4MB WMV) for around $20.00.
Very nice! I had a suprisingly fun time last year setting off a few hundred dollars worth out in the boonies of Boyd. The experimentation (synchronization, stringing-together, etc.) kept it interesting for my brother and me. Good stuff.
