I constantly hear disgusting ads for the gargantuan fireworks warehouse just across the border from Colorado on I-25 in Wyoming. They make it sound as though they are marketing ballistic munitions and not fireworks--as they try to get the testosterone-driven teens and twenty-somethings to come spend hundreds $$$ on their crap.
NO FEMA means increasingly no insurance or none that is affordable, so people better wake up to the risks.

Fireworks are terrible idea most of the time. Less fireworks is fine by me.
