Well, I'm a stranger to this thread, but I'm Canadian and appreciate the joke.
And, you'll be interested to know that this year, in my neighbourhood, we apparently celebrated the Fourth of July as well.
On the First of July we were forbidden fireworks, because of crowds, no room in ER for blown-off fingers, etc. But, there was no embargo mentioned on fireworks in general. So, last night, just as the Macy's New York fireworks were going off, we hear, from the back roads, the sound of fireworks, live!
Not as big a show aspublic fireworks, but exciting all the same, especially as some of them came above the rooflines!
So, thank you, America!
