“I’ve already promised them that on the 4th of July, we can put lawn chairs and a cooler right in front of the “15 MPH” one at the end of our street.” Har! Now I’m trying to guess which city….

Great post. Very,very funny. Only people living the Good Life would appreciate it. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to make fun of a lifestyle 99% of the world would love to experience. As part of the 1%, I appreciated the humor and congratulate you on a well thought out and funny article.

Oh man did you send this into your news station or local paper? Totally loved it.

Rabid animals scare me more than anything. I am having a hard time getting past the thought of seeing daytime raccoons. Please make sure they all disappear into the Everglades and that they are replaced with accessory chihuahuas before I start driving…

I hate watching money spent on stuff like new signs. My big peeve is birthday cards from the president, headmaster, or dentist for godsakes.

Public fireworks displays are a heck of a lot safer then the alternative, which will be individuals trying to set off their own. Come to the Jersey shore this 4th…as far as I know they’ll still have ‘em…

oh great! this post gives me an opportunity to soapbox!
I would happily vote against the celebration-of-war-fireworks and FOR the street signs being color coordinated with the biker costumes, being the good progressive that I am. Never did care for fireworks, even as a little kid.
This posting comes dangerously close to echoing the Republican chant of “all government is bad”, which they copiously proved when they were in power. Keep in mind, it was the lack of government oversight and regulation that brought us the economic meltdown that you spoke so eloquently about in a recent post. Deregulation of the banking industry allowed them to steal to their hearts content!

This all sounds so “stepford” doesn’t it? Everything so perfect. But hey, towns are for real people. Bring back the fireworks! Who cares if someone drops an errant hotdog or burger? Or is your town too perfect to eat celebration junk?

Loved it. We couldn’t stop laughing. I’m coming over just to say hi to your dapper alligators and find out where the muskovy doctors are getting their plastic surgery. Tell your city to bring back the fireworks and get rid of the expensive signs.
