Fourth of July Seemed a Bit Dull this year 2009

I use to be a huge Fourth of July Fan, especially being from Boston, and the rules here in Tampa always seemed a bit odd, Legal to sell, but not legal to fire off.  Whatever!  In either event, the past few years the fireworks around me have been over the top, except for this year.  For some reason, and maybe because the economy is a bit sluggish, people just either did not want to spend the money on fireworks, or maybe they just did not feel patriotic, not sure.  Whatever the case, it was somewhat of a more quiet year for me and my wife and 3 dogs ( the dogs hate fireworks) so we enjoyed the day.

Although it was a great day, I did, in an odd way, miss the ridiculous amounts of fireworks going off around me in my neighborhood.  Well, I always have next year to look forward to!
