Firsting with Pride! It's the start of July. 

Is anyone out there... 

Painfully employed...?! is the new term, I came up with while being kept up by those high flying, explosives...told you I'd be back with fireworks report. Just didn't think it would start this early. That those who have reportedly helped the purchase of fireworks to be sky high, adding to the already record-breaking heat and haze...I get why, in July, we tend to fire off, even shoot the works. But can’t there at least be an ordinance, to prevent unexploded ordnance? The oldest device in cartoons, the “ticking time bomb…” Another brilliant idea of mine that won’t survive the light of day…Tick, tick, tick…

A divided nation... according to my overnight poll, while the explosives were taking their toll, on me. As to whether you are in the category of "they are such nice sky brighteners" or, in another sense, "there's always room, for more kaboom!" The combination of which could result in over-stimulation.
