Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for July 05, 2022

time to start planning for halloween Clayton!

The stench of burnt sulfur lingering on….. Bits of wire from spent sparklers in the roadway…. Black scars on street rain gutters marking the locations where “snakes” did their thing. The feeling of loss as empty firework stands start disappearing again until they re-emerge next year.

How I miss all that. Santa Clara County outlawed even Safe & Sane fireworks decades ago. TOO sane. TOO safe. ;-(

at least you safely discarded the spent fireworks

I’m curious as to how many people were injured/killed by amateur fireworks!!

“Fifth of July” was a stage play from the late ’70’s starring Christopher Reeve and Swoozie Kurtz.

Why are Adam and Clayton standing in a hole? Hmm= Adam..Clayton..POW..ell.

I hate cleaning my yard and pool of the neighbors firework debris

I don’t care what everyone says. Adam at Home is just as good Family Circus.

Frankly, I’m glad all that stuff is over. Not that I dislike the bangs and booms and all that, I’m just tired of listening to all the people who think other people don’t like the bangs and booms. They’re exhausting.

Says the boy not doing any of the skimming…

The detritus from neighbors’ (both sides) fireworks is scattered across my yard and deck. That which is on the roof will have to come down after the next storm.

Yep, as long as Dad does the skimming!

They must live next to Norm Dewey (Next Door Neighbors).

It was remarkably quiet in our neighborhood last night; just a few pops and bangs. Of course, we’re in a drought-afflicted area of Texas. Maybe people were actually being sensible?

To all you non-patriots who want to ban fireworks, please watch this to learn WHY we have fireworks on the 4th.

Did you know that fish and other animals die from ingesting fireworks debris? But, hey, we people need our entertainment! The older I get the more I understand George Carlin rooting for natural disasters against humanity.
