What says "Happy birthday" better than blowing things up? I can't think of anything. You can always tell the Fourth of July is coming up because, for a solid 10 days beforehand, neighborhoods all over the country sound like a war zone each night. By the time the holiday actually arrives, you're kind of numb to the sound and spectacle. For me, on the Fourth of July, I typically spend the day doing tons of yard work so by the time it gets dark, I'm exhausted. It takes a monumental effort (and lots of caffeine) to stay awake for the local fireworks displays. Never was it more true than the time we visited North Dakota one year. It didn't get dark up there until midnight! Anyway, happy birthday to the greatest country this planet has ever seen.
