I have to say that Lincoln's firworks policy kicks butt. Fireworks go on sale a few days before and we can burn black powder all day on the 3rd & 4th. Lincoln proper does not sell anything that goes bang, but the neighboring towns do, and they are only a few minutes away.
The Hickman Kiwanis foreworks tent was running a special on pyrotechnic tanks. We grabbed a few dozen and built a couple tank divisions. CP had fun, but was sad to see all the tanks be destroyed. For some reason JP did not want a bunch of soot covered sulphurous burned-out tanks left in the garage.
We lit off fireworks on and off all day on the 4th and started for real at about 8:00 pm. By 10 pm I realized that we had too many fireworks (can that be a real problem?!?) and were not going to be able to burn them all. I kicked up the pace and frantically lit up as much as I could as quickly as possible. It made for a good show until a big mortar shell blew up 5 feet off the ground and sent GP in the house.
