Cute pictures and illegal explosions

I posted some new pictures of Lorelei to my flickr stream the other day.  You can click the more photos link on the left or just click here to see them.  I know it doesn’t seem like there are a ton, but that’s because we go through and make sure that you only get the cream of the crop, none of that kind-of-cute stuff, we got the real radioactive stuff going on there.

In other news…so from what I understand from everyone I talk to here in Ohio, fireworks are legal to by in the state but are illegal to set off.  When you buy them you have to sign a form that says you will take them out of state to use them, but lets face it, nobody does that .

Our neighbor across the street had a party on Saturday night (it was supposed to rain on the 4th so he postponed it until then) and it was probably one of the coolest fireworks shows I have ever seen, even including the professional shows.  Mainly because there were about $3000+ of fireworks directly above me (since he lit them in the street) and they were really cool fireworks.  Some were these gigantic boxes labeled “Strategic Air Defense” and they shot off like 30 fireworks in a spiral fashion, it was really cool.

I also joined the cornhole tournament (man, that has got to be the worst name for a game) they had at the party.  My partner and I won the tournament .  Who would have thought that a California boy could play games with the big Ohio men?
