July 4th my favorite

An acre in a "backyard?" What the funk do you call a garden then? A Farm? And you live in a place where the cops come to supervise a party? I always thought those remote American lifestyles were more fiction than reality. Cool.

It’s a small town I live in with a part time police force. They came because we bought those professional grade fireworks which are technically illegal. If they wanted to bust balls they could have have confiscated them but they actually stayed to watch them for a bit. They even complimented the fireworks. Although I have about an Acre and a half and it’s a small town I’m a twenty five minute ride from 2 of my states bigger cities. Just for the record fireworks are legal in my state up to a certain grade or class but we found a hook up for the big stuff. When you launch those in your back yard the cops are going to notice. Eighty percent of the time cops here will interact well if you aren’t being an ass. If I gave them shit they would have taken all my fireworks, since I was cool they hung out and bullshitted for ten minutes. Of course denilson would say it’s because I’m white but my gatherings are usually #diverse.

Yeah the 4th is a great time my entire neighborhood will come together for fireworks. People will have cookouts, my wife will be at work so I might just have a nice bourbon and smoke and just chill out.

Dude so true. My neighbors just saw the tents being put up and asked what I was doing I told them it’s a 4th party and your welcome to stop by. He said he would be out of town but just gave me and my party guests access to his in ground pool. His only stipulation was no young kids use it without adults watching. Damn what a nice guy. They just finished that pool last month. Well I did agree to feed his dogs while he’s gone for a few days which isn’t a bad trade. It’s strange, we have about 15 houses around me and my wife and I go to our twice yearly neighborhood block parties. It’s probably the friendliest place I’ve ever lived.

It is a big deal in Butte too. The parade used to be, years ago, a big deal but these days there's no floats and such. The city puts on a very nice fireworks show; since fireworks are readily available, there are usually several private shows to match it.
