- Fireworks are now legal to purchase in Kentucky. The fireworks you can purchase in Kentucky are weak and expensive. If they wanted us to buy our fireworks in Indiana, they should have just said so.
- The city fathers of Louisville cancelled Independence Day fireworks at the big park downtown this year due to a lack of funding.
- Of course, they had plenty of money to fund Thunder Over Louisville, which is the kickoff for the Kentucky Derby festival.
- Let’s see, spend money to celebrate our countries freedom and independence, or spend money to rev up support for a horse race put on by a profitable public corporation.
- I guess you just have to have your priorities.
- The Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association had their reunion in Louisville this week. Never met a nicer group of people.
- Part of their reunion was a traveling Vietnam Wall. I got the opportunity to help take the Wall down this morning.
- About a dozen other people, mostly veterans from the VHPA reunion, also helped take it down and pack it back into its trailer.
- I’m not saying anything about the people of Louisville, but about the same number of people who worked to safely disassemble and pack the Wall also stood on the street and in their apartment windows and watched us work.
- After the Wall was packed away, we did a police call.
- The older veterans were tickled to do it.
- I now remember why I dislike most smokers. Most of the trash I picked up was old butts.
- You forget how tired you are when the guys you’re working with start talking about the best approaches to Khe Sanh to avoid getting shot at and start comparing names of people they knew who died in combat to figure out where they know each other from.
- One of the subdivisions near us put on a fireworks show on Saturday night, and we took Boo and one of his friends to see it.
- I’m proud to say that the boys seemed to have more fun chasing lightning bugs before the show than they did watching things blow up in the sky.
- Note to parents and grandparents – giving sparklers to young children wearing flip-flops or no shoes at all is a bad idea.
