Peanut Gallery — Hagadone’s Fireworks

It was noted last week that Mr. Haggahagga didn't contribute to the July 4th fireworks ... well, he had to save his money for the fireworks that were shot off near the golf course tonight. I got home about 9:30, and I could see the fireworks from my front porch. Better to spend money for fireworks for a relatively few people, I guess, than to contribute to a July 4th fireworks celebration that is enjoyed by far more people! Such is big business, I guess.

DFO: When I'm made King of the Universe, Hagadone's annoying odd hours fireworks displays for rich cuss-tomers will be no more. However, we have to give the devil his due. The Duane pays for the after-Thanksgiving fireworks display downtown that kicks off the Christmas season. That's a decent gesture.
