I was driving home from Pete's house Saturday night, enjoying my Angels and Airwaves cd when before just above the trees appeared beautiful fireworks. Little explosions of color in the sky. So pretty. And just the perfect visual companion for track 7 on the cd, if I hadn't been on I-97 going about 75 in the fast lane, I may have pulled over and enjoyed the show while listening to the tunes. It was a beautiful sight-the reds, blues, greens and golds. They weren't the crazy fireworks of an official display but the illegal ones that are bought in Virginia and smuggled in. Somehow I like those better. There is just something more satisfying about them, knowing some idiot is setting them off in their backyard and might just lose a finger on them! Or at the very least get caught by the cops and arrested. Do they arrest people for fireworks? Maybe just ticket them. Doesn't matter, I am getting away from the point. How beautiful those spontaneous fireworks are. Glorious in their unexpectedness as the appear suddenly in fountains of red and blue above the dark trees.
