How To Save Money By Making Your Own Homemade Fireworks
First, you will need to find some industrial fertilizer and plain sugar to make some flash powder. Next, you should make sure your fire extinguisher is properly maintained and filled.
Okay, so I’m kidding. Perhaps we should just stick to watching the nice public fireworks displays. Otherwise my next post might be “How to lose your entire net worth through a negligence lawsuit!” 
Happy Independence Day!

From the Washington Post: “Nearly 99 percent of all fireworks sold legally in the United States are imported from China, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association, a trade group.”
Wow, that makes me feel so very patriotic today.
Anyway, Happy Independence Day, US workers living your high standard of living, earning your high wages, so high, in fact, that labor-intensive basic industries move by market forces overseas in the most ironic ways!

Happy Independence Day to all your readers! We had a very frugal Independence Day. We do not have any lawn chairs on our paito, so we decided to spend $50 bucks on two chairs for my wife and I to be able sit outside and enjoy the fireworks that everyone else bought and lit off. It was quite a show! Now our $50 investment will go much farther as we can sit outside and enjoy the nice weather this time of year!
