The Hubby and I usually visit a local fireworks display, although every year I wish the municipalities would consider silent fireworks.
Fireworks also are very polluting; the chemicals used, the smoke that fills the air, and I'm sure the folks who light the wicks don't escape the process unscathed.
In addition, although we've enjoyed a vegetable-based diet for many years, there is one fascinating July 4th contest held every year that we've watched on television:
The Famous Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest!

This year, the event will be held indoors.
Trust me, it's ain't pretty, and you may not be able to watch the 100% contest without wanted to heave your own cookies, but in a weird, fascinating way, the contestants make it a worthwhile competition!

We'll take the hot dogs over fireworks any old day! Happy Independence Day from all of us!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence day to you, hubby, the Twins and Sweetie and all of those outstanding felines outstanding in your yard.
ReplyDeleteI love your face decoration.
I agree about the hot dog contest. I am not one
(anyone who has pets) to be bothered by stuff that comes up. But good grief those idiots
just turn me into a wuss who can't look
Hugs cecilia
There has got to be a better way to celebrate independence than fireworks .. that being said, those hot dog eating contests make my tummy hurt just watching!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of silent fireworks. Happy Fourth!
ReplyDeleteSilent fireworks would be great. My kitties sure like the idea :-) Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day to you and all our US friends!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE hotdogs but they are an occasional guilty pleasure..just every few years...
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th.
We would love silent fireworks too!
ReplyDeleteYou look very patriotic :) Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteI like hot dogs but I can never watch that, LOL. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th! I'm so glad Sweetie gets to be safely inside this year for the noise. And also, I don't think I could watch any kind of eating contest.
ReplyDeleteWe are starved for competition

ReplyDeleteSilent fireworks would be amazing. I always feel sorry for the animals who live near the areas where the big fireworks displays are set off. I can't watch eating contests of any kind. I find them repulsive.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th! I didn't know there were silent fireworks. That would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice 4th of July this year, although different from any other year, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a fireworks display in years, though some crazy neighbors put on a bit of a show. ~shakes head~ Be well!
