My home town of Sunny Sierra Vista, Arizona isn’t a big city.  We’re not a small town, either.  We’re right in between.  I’ll leave it up to your imagination as to what that makes us.

Being at just over 40,000 in population, we have a number of benefits that most big cities don’t have.  First of all, we’re just big enough that your secrets can remain your secrets for longer than a day, as opposed to a small town in which your secrets stay yours for about 30 seconds.  We’re big enough to have more than one traffic control signal, and we now boast not only a full-sized Home Depot, but now a fully functional Lowe’s as well as a Best Buy complete with Geek Squad counter (this should not be interpreted to say that I think Geek Squad is a good thing).  We’re also big enough to have an incredibly impressive fireworks display for our Fourth of July.   In fact, I will go as far as to say that we not only put on a great fireworks show, we put on the fireworks show for southern Arizona.  In fact, the show is so good, we draw people from as far away as Tucson (75 miles away).   I do not know of any other place in my neck of the woods where you can be right up where the fireworks are being fired off and stand in serious risk of having the actual fire of the fireworks land right on top of you.

It’s so cool.

I took some photographs. Here are a few shots from the show.

 I’ll have to post more later.  It’s late, I’m tired, and tomorrow is a long day for me.  I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.  The USA Rocks!
