Re: Fireworks banned

January 2, 2006

Thank God that your house was spared, and that your son & his friend were

able to save his friend's house. Also that Hank was not hurt while fighting

the fire. I'm like you, I don't know how some people can be so careless &

not have any regard for other people's safety and go out and buy and shot

off fireworks when the devestation that they can cause is so obovious to

everyone.
