Fireworks

You know, fireworks are a blast, literally! I will admit, I do love a good fireworks show! And I've enjoyed fireworks ever since I can remember. It must be the perfect combination of light, color, and noise that attracts a young boy and holds him over to adulthood. I still find myself oohing and aahing over the beautiful explosives. They seem to be better developed now than when I was a kid. Now they can make the outline of actual objects appear in the sky after they've gone off. Of course, the finale is always, well,... the finale. It seems they throw a match in a barrel of explosives, stand back, and see what happens! That sure is a cool gig. I wonder how I can get a job blowing things up?
