Make sure to get the very best of Chinese slave-labor firework engineering: Yang Tse Doodle.

Seven years ago (I may have told you about it already) was the best Fourth I've ever had. Marched in two parades with the county Democrats and a had a delightful lunch with an emeritus prof of mathematics from my college who'd been involved with the college Dems group for about forty years; drove down to a closer Columbus suburb to see Little Richard and Mitch Ryder perform in a high-school football field; ate a huge dinner at White Castle; drank a six-pack of Sam Adams; and closed the day with a wonderful fireworks show over the campus skyline. Two months later came 9/11. I like to keep the memories of that particular Fourth in their own special box in my mind.
