It just now became the Forth of July™ and earlier this evening (which was
technically yesterday, Wednesday, July 3^rd) some people were illegally
lighting off fireworks already. I guess as a random quality test of the
munitions they've aquired. So to them, and to you, I wish you a happy and
safe National Blow Stuff Up Day!

And for the curious, the above image was taken by me [2] 21 years ago. Yikes!

And it was 13 years ago when my hair nearly caught on fire [3], so when I say
“be safe,” I mean it.
