fireworks

It's been a year since Jason Pierre-Paul of the New York Giants injured his hand in a gruesome fireworks accident, and he's been doing quite a few interviews lately about he dangers of fireworks.  Have you seen the pics?  They look like something out of the movies. Don't eat first. Visits to ERs in East Texas will be up this week because of fireworks-related injuries, but you can protect yourself.

Is your dog spending the next few days shaking in the corner, or hiding under the bed?  Mine too.  The fireworks are a blast for everyone except the pups.

It's a Fourth of July tradition - get the family together, grill up some burgers & dogs, enjoy one of our local festivals or fairs, and then get on a picnic blanket and watch the fireworks that celebrate our country's freedom. Sound good to you? Check out the Nacogdoches and Lufkin celebrations here.

A Fourth of July fireworks celebration has left more than two dozen people injured in Simi Valley, California.

Last night we set about the task of revising the music that will be choreographed to the fireworks.  Mike Love and I sit in my little studio and tweak a little every year.  Adding new surprises and keeping old favorites.   But this year is going to be a little different.

It seems like there's always concern in Texas about fireworks around the 4th of July, and how those mix with what's usually extreme heat and little rain. This year things are better than in years past, with the grass a little greener than usual, and weather that's slightly cooler this week.  Are bans in place?

Got your fireworks yet? There are just two opportunities each year to buy fireworks in Texas - near the 4th of July, and new New Year's Eve. Business is good right now at local fireworks stands. Even though there has been some recent moisture, it's been another dry year. And fireworks and piles of dry leaves don't mix.

While the rest of us were enjoying a lengthy 4th of July fireworks show last night, San Diego residents got completely robbed when their display went off all at once in a spectacular explosion that lasted a mere 15 seconds.
