Happy Fourth to all my American compatriots!

That being said:

Please be considerate in your use of fireworks.

It takes $0 to ask your friends and neighbors if they and their animals are safe and comfortable with you popping fireworks in the vicinity.

If they are not, and you do it anyways, you can cost them hundreds of dollars in veterinary bills and/or emergency room costs.

A brief google search or even a call to your local PD can clear up any questions about legal (and safe) places to celebrate our patriotism.

Please be kind to your vets and their furry friends.

And if it is legal and okay to set them off, please follow the packaging instructions and not launch bottle rockets from your hands, feet, or other questionable places, or hold Roman candles, or etc.

You need thumbs to play video games, my dudes
