You're from Chicago? What part? Lots of fun-n-sun there this time of year

Short drive to Lemas -- especially when you ride with Backdrft76

Ouch....I can attest..when I took the trip in Oct...the border right after getting into Indiana....cops GALORE...I saw 6 within 12miles of of entering....Oye Vey... after the first one I was gun-shy..after the third...I was like a grandma going to church on Sunday. It did make me appreciate the trees turning colors on the drive there though.

"I don't know what the statistics are on fireworks, but we had fun with ours. And no one ever got hurt"

This was my favorite quote...

"A lot of things in life are dangerous. It's hard to know where to draw the line."

This is a great story about Andy's love and pro-stance of shooting fireworks!

The PGI and other clubs should invite him to their conventions as they did the late George Plimpton, who once attended while I was there, and was another celebrity lover of fireworks!

(You'll never guess what George was handed to shoot on the firing line at the PGI convention, I can't remember which convention it was, but the item was a 25 shot TK !!! LOL !!! True story. Does anyone else remember)?

Let's make a digilent effort to invite him to the PGI, Club shoots, and to this wonderful fireworks forum Pyrouniverse .

You must have taken the Skyway, I take the 294. Much safer on the way back home.

that was a great clip. Its so nice to see some one on tv in favor of fireworks. it seem like all you see on tv is how bad fireworks are.
