July 4th

I love those "Crooks are stupid" segments a few of the radios stations play during the morning shows. You know, like the one where the guy goes into the convenience store, grabs a 6-pack and after giving the clerk his ID, pulls a gun, runs out with about 20 bucks but without his ID. Well it ain’t just crooks that are stupid.

Both South Dakota and Missouri (same with Wyoming) have stores dedicated to the sale of just about any type of fireworks a person would want to buy and every year cornheads make their way north or southeast (or west) to pick up what is illegal in their home state. And every year, they get caught coming back across the border. All of their fireworks are confiscated (I wonder if the cops put on a nice show somewhere?) and a hefty fine is levied. For days it is all over the news every year. Get a brain people, don’t go to S. D. or Missouri to get fireworks in June or July, if you really have to have them go in March or April stupid, they aren’t looking for you then. Just keep the bottle rockets away from my house.

Happy Fourth of July and stay safe.
