My Independence Day Stories
All through my youth, the 4th of July always represented summertime and fireworks. It was never Independence Day to me. Always 4th of July.
* Watching fireworks on the street in front of Burlingame house as a kid.
* That great trip every year to the Red Devil fireworks stand.
* Fuzzy memories of seeing fireworks in Guerneville.
* 9 years old in Kearns Utah. Only allowed sparklers and caps. We used a hammer to blow up caps, often a whole role at a time.
* Learning about illegal fireworks at around 11 years old. Here stories about people blowing up toilets with M-80s.
* The Bicentennial quarters.
* About 12-13 years old we knew a guy who knew a guy and we would get some firecrackers and bottle rockets.
* Around 16 years old make the trip to China Town and buy fireworks. Do a deal in a back alley.
* Big fireworks show at La Jolla Cove freshman year at UCSD. Big fireworks show a much bigger thing here in San Diego than I remember in Burlingame.
* Fireworks from Kate Sessions Park with synchronized music
* Shooting bottle rockets from UCSD A-2 into B-16. Must have been left over from the summer.
* With the kids, always attending a softball or baseball tournament somewhere.
* Watching fireworks from our home in North Poway. Little by little they would not get high enough over the hill to see them.
* Driving to Flaming Gorge WY and seeing the fireworks store right when we passed the state line.
* Then having leftovers back in Poway. I took them to the hazardous materials dump site. I always wondered if the workers there actually kept them.
