What Are You Doing Right Now

City of Arlington did a no-mask fireworks show last night apparently. Which might sound bad, but even in the DFW no one really wants any extra Arlington going on. So not to be morbid, but thinning out the population down there isn't of the greatest concern to the rest of the metroplex, if you know what I mean.

It's clear that areas of more "problems" aren't being told to wear masks like better areas of the city are. Tarrant Co does really want to have to deal with them.

What's wrong with Arlington?

We did a no-mask fireworks show in the driveway... neighbors had like $600 worth of kaboom. And with zero wind, we were able to have ash and gunpowder rain down on us.

As someone who has spent large sums on fireworks, that is not an insignificant amount of kaboom.

I've done family fireworks shows dropping ~$300 on stuff. Though I do not think I got any shells bigger than 2"

We had these crazy huge mortars this year, not like anything we had seen before. And some roman candles that felt like shooting a .38.

I have no idea what my next door neighbor was shooting off in his driveway but it was quite a show; though my younger one was buried in my lap for most of it (Too Loud). Idiot me left my car in the driveway so I got quite bit of remnants on it.

Water on our street was just shut off. That's not good. Going to be a long day.

Same here. Spent $300 this weekend and my little show lasted a whopping 15 min with most of the time spent setting up the next "bang"

Will have a much better show next year though as my father-in-law and a couple others want to chip in.

I found I'm bad in a candy store, but I discovered I am worse in a fireworks store.

Haven't seen roman candles like that in ages.

Our water is back on after the city did a repair out on our street today. The hole in our yard that has been there since pre-COVID is finally fixed.

Turned on automatic 'collection' tagging in Plex and found a couple movies I was missing in different series. Also, editing a PowerShell script to help automate triggered updates on servers.

I'm sure if we had looked closely, these would have said "do not hold in hand".

Who looks closely at warning labels these days?
