We went to the local fireworks display at Pawnee Lake last night. It was a rather close (and interesting) call with the weather as a pretty significant thunderstorm rolled in around the time of 'Zero-Hour.' But, the storm dropped a few sprinkles and mostly skirted us. Thus, it went off without a hitch to only about half the original audience, as the rest had left early. I'm guessing there was some clever Pawnee city fireman with an I-phone that was watching the weather radar and keeping the show on schedule. As we left, the town of Pawnee - just 2 miles to the south - was soaked with about 0.4 inches of rain.
Today, we picked up some clearance fireworks for the family to shoot tonight. We've got a wide assortment of fun things to explode - it's probably been 20+ years since I've set off some fireworks, so I'm looking forward to it with the wife and kids.
