I can't complain. I like it. Plus it's free for me since we never pay for them. My son and in laws also bought some. They buy the expensive kind and it's a show. Just step outside and watch. Dozens of fireworks going off for hours. My in laws were even dog sitting. It sure beats going downtown.

We don't do Fourth of July fireworks here. It's too hot.
