Lis and Robert Billingsley - retirees, volunteers and proud American Legion members - said they had exactly one word to describe sales this holiday period at the fireworks stand they run here for the Legion.“Lousy,” said Ms. Billingsley, speaking almost in unison with her husband. “Thanks to the TV and the fires they are putting on the TV, it’s the worst year ever.”

We can't think of better news for fireworks. Good riddance to the noise, danger, fires, injuries and the pollution. They belong in the same trash heap as "safe and sane" cigarettes.www.laag.us
