I mean, I get it to some extent. If you've got young kids, cool, kids are into that ****. Or even if you're in a new place. I went and saw them in Waikiki last year just so I can say I did it. But they're going to be pretty much the same thing every year. I don't know, maybe I'm just a wet blanket.
I'm with you pantsy. It used to mean something because this was the one time of year they are done. Now they shoot off fireworks after almost anything. Kind of loses the appeal when it happens so regularly any more.
Went to the CR farmers market, swimming all afternoon at my grand parent in-laws, steak and homemade ice cream at my parents, shot off some stuff we have left over from Kansas. Now about to watch CR's fireworks on TV and crash.
So I've finally gotten to the point where, when I'm running, if I look in the window in front of me and see my reflection, I don't see my chubby cheeks bouncing with every step as I stare at myself.

for you fitness guys, fitnessblender on youtube has some good free workouts you can do at home. It's similar to insanity except it has strength workouts and other types of workouts. It has modifiers on the workouts so you can do the easier version or the harder version of a workout.
I did one of the 1000 calorie workouts and it's pretty good. Still sore from it. There's a lot of easier workouts on it too. Just did a 15 minute one that burned 200 calories and it's pretty tough.

So the dude that puked on the treadmill just talked to me and tried to make friends. It was funny. CG, I picture it being about as awkward as you or DH trying to make friends.
WDSM, you son of a *****, this Poultrygeist movie is god awful. I should have know as soon as I saw it was a Troma movie that it was going to be terrible.
Edit: I watched through to the end. **** you, WDSM. **** you. I hate you for recommending this **** show movie and you should feel like a horrible human being for doing so. **** you.

So, yeah...eventful 4th. Took the kids for a bike ride (previously mentioned) while mrs. 00clone did some cleaning. Lunch, nap, yada, yada, yada...In the afternoon/evening had a party at a friend's house in the country. Pool/kiddo stuff in the afternoon, then a band (well, one guy, I guess) and fireworks at night. The wife's brother asked if they wanted/were okay with them to shoot off some stuff, they said okay. They started getting slightly nervous when they were digging holes to locate the fireworks, and setting up a trailer as a stage to shoot them from...it ended up being about as big of a fireworks show as my hometown does for the 4th, at some guy's house, with a musician playing in the background.
Got home and Mrs. 00clone took a few things in the house while I pulled coolers out of the van. She comes back out, and I go to open the garage door, and it's locked. I tell her it's locked, and she thinks I'm joking. I ask her for the keys (she had been driving), and she says "they're on the counter, I set them down". So...ended the evening with breaking the door in with a prybar.
Looks like my 5th of July will involve replacing a door frame or door.

But to Pants' question, I wouldn't give one thought to fireworks normally, but watching them happen in my friends' back yard was pretty cool.
