Come on down to WEST Virginia ... the ridges aren’t dry and the fireworks are legal.

BULL CRAP!!!!! Up until 1995 I could shoot off mortars in Butte County where we lived

---

I grew up in SoCal and virtually no fireworks were legal and it was certainly this way in the 50s and 60s. But you were in the wet northern part of the state and I was in the dry south. Rules may well have been different up there.

I *am* a hillbilly ya nit.

Get off my back.

You’ve spectacularly misinterpreted everything I’ve said.

Dayum.

[Salamander]

Horrible.
I know someone who lost everything but her pets in one of them.
Hence my concerns.
My homeowners insurance could never replace an historic log house built by a blacksmith in the 1700s.
It’s not “just a house “ to me.
It’s been in the family for centuries.

My prayers for your continued safety.

[Salamander]

My only real concern is if they show up with rocket launchers.

That could present an issue.

;D

[Salamander]

Yeah but there’s like 15 people in Idaho.

What are the odds?

;D

[Salamander]

It’s kind of a fortress.

Small deep windows designed for defense, too.

Sucks for a nice view but epic for shooting out of.

:D

( the house has survived the Revolutionary War, the French and Indian war and the civil war. So far so good)

[Salamander]

I’m just across the river from it.
In 4 minutes I can see y’all on the other side.
It’s where my kinfolk came from after the mines played out.

Yeah but there’s like 15 people in Idaho.

What are the odds?

Hey 17 now. My wife and I upped then population.

:)

[Salamander]

That’s like 20000 acres per person.

;D
