Journal sillypixie's Journal: The New Years Redneck Scoop 4
Ah, another New Year, another tale of redneck wonder.
This year, we let the neighbours set up the fireworks display, as we didn't feel like shelling out all the cash.
Our usual fireworks m.o. is to set up a framework and secure all the fireworks to the framework, connected with sparklers. This has the wonderful advantage that you do all the thinking and planning while still sober, and merely light a match at midnight.
The neighbours opted to put the fireworks into a snowbank and light them one by one. It all worked very well, but of course all the snowbanks are around the edge of the cul-de-sac, and the first thing I noticed when the fireworks started going off, was that they had managed to place the firing location for the fireworks directly underneath power lines....
I observed this to my friends, and their reply was "oh yeah, Andrew (a 7-year-old) pointed that out to the boys this afternoon. They didn't seem to think he was worth listening to..."
Sigh.

In addition to the mormal sparl;ers, fireworks, and electrical arcing, did you get to see any flashing holiday lights? Either just red or a delightful mix of red and blue?
