I so appreciate your political metaphors here.

We were in Michigan, literally ON Lake Huron for the 4th of July fireworks celebrations.

Interesting culture difference there: Huge fireworks displays were exploding from many locations along the shore, not just the towns.

From my brother’s pontoon boat we viewed multiple displays. My tight neck couldn’t pivot far or fast enough to view them all at once.

This investment in an ephemeral event requires significant: time, energy, and money ~ lots of it. And over the years I’ve been uneasy about this Michigan display’s history and growth.

As a child in Flint we felt lucky to have sparklers and delighted in their magic…

And there’s no fire on my head, but a smoking hot reaction every time I see the focus on glitz and the smell of ageism.

No time to share more thoughts now. But I know you know.

And our mutual thoughts are 1 good thing.
