Word. I love 4th of July. Probably my next favorite holiday next to Christmas.

California is getting so damn strict though about EVERYTHING. We used to have huge block party types of parties on the 4th, now with the damn laws, you can only have fireworks in certain sections of the city. Whats 4th of July without fireworks? Now we have to either pay to go watch a professional pyro show, or do it "illegally" at our place and watch for the fire marshals to come through the neighborhoods.

We used to go every year to Lauglin, Nevada just to buy fireworks and I would litterally spend about $300 on mortar shell fireworks and some others you cant buy in Cali. Now I dont go because its so strict that the fines are like $1000 if you get caught with them.

California is becoming the suck.
