In the case of West Point, ...Yeh, I kind of agree. In the case of West Point, I think they're also meant to have the band-concert season go out with a bang, as it were. But in general, yes: we seem to be ratcheting up all of the celebrations.Barry Leibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205294935881991457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21503568.post-17182701967284227152009-09-11T20:06:53.814-04:002009-09-11T20:06:53.814-04:00I don't get it...Labour Day fireworks? Someone...I don't get it...Labour Day fireworks? Someone around here was shooting fireworks off last weekend, too, and I just don't understand. Fireworks are traditionally used to celebrate July 4th in the United States, are they not? Here in Canada they used to be set off on May 24th to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, and now on July first (Canada Day). But these days it seems that every long weekend you hear the pops and bangs of fireworks being set off. As far as I'm concerned, it's wrong. It lessens the specialness of the important holidays we traditionally used fireworks to celebrate.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21503568.post-2652181613518052362009-09-09T22:12:50.766-04:002009-09-09T22:12:50.766-04:00I was going to say what Brent said.
