I took this picture this morning in the Walmart parking lot.

We always had fireworks when I was a child. The 4th was for the larger fireworks that we lit in the yard, the fountains and roman candles and spinners. But for weeks before the 4th my brothers and I had dozens of packages of bottle rockets, those little black cat firecrackers, smoke bombs, snakes and sparklers. Every dime we could get our hands on was used to buy fireworks and we always, even as little children, had matches or a lighter to light them.
Of course I loved them all, but I especially used to love to hide around the side of the house and light the evil smelling little black pills that turned into long black snakes. I haven't done that since I was a child. I don't even know if they sell that kind any more.
