(115,434 posts)If you don't suffer deadly heat stroke, severe sunburn (despite sunblock), potential storm impacts (e.g., lightning, hail, or other), and go broke trying to afford the abysmal but intensely costly food USA Today reported on today, you have to listen to Trump ramble on about his grievances and miss most or all of the fireworks in a desperate attempt to leave and get home before the rest of the crowds make that impossible...
Uggh. No, just no. I will gladly ignore the "festivities" and try desperately to comfort my sweet old 15 yo pup if anyone dares to light fireworks nearby--during our overwhelming wildfire threats.
