Happy Independence Day to all of our American friends.

I bought $400 worth of fireworks

What better way is there to celebrate our country than to blow it up?

Thanks. I appriciate the thought, I'm sure most of us guys from the US do too.
To take things to another level of seriousness though I am glad to be able to say there were not official terrorist attacks on the US today, in our day of celebration. As some of you know there was that shooting incident in an LA airport but all the news agencies assure us that it wasn't a terrorist attack type thing, more of just some psycho trying to get his jollies off, and ended up getting killed.

Yeah happy non contactable American colleagues day.
Annoying but...

Eh?
Not all of the country shuts down though, us college students trying to scrape by with tuition and rent and utilities have to work (mostly because we have $h** jobs though ).

No fireworks were allowed in any of the major cities over here. (Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia...) Which is cool for me cuz I don't live in any of them

At least you found a stinking job to help pay for your summer stuff
