Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Around here people used to drag various debris down to the beach throughout the spring, then on 4th of July they'd light it all. However now we have idiots who bring hazardous stuff just to get rid of it, so they've banned the beach bonfires on certain beaches. Pity - it was always fun!

We often do a fire for New Year's Eve. In Louisiana, where I'm from, there's a tradition of doing Christmas Eve bonfires on the levees to light the way for Papa Noel.

We have Waterfire in Providence during weekends in the summer

In NY it's illegal to set off fireworks without a permit. Although it sounds like a warzone in the weeks leading up to 7/4 so it's really not enforced. We do get the Macy's Fireworks Spectacular though:

They used to be illegal here for private celebrations, but every neighborhood always had them going on, some more than others...

Not legal here either, but that doesn't stop many people anymore.

Pretty much every beach here has a fireworks show. We used to throw a small party when I was in my last place before the show. Then the other fireworks heavy day I liked to drive to a beach that doesn't have any fireworks planned, but is between a bunch of towns that does and just watch them all go off on either side of me from the shoreline. Last year we were invited onto a friend's family's boat for one show and that was a fun viewing experience.

A few years ago we were driving home from VA on the 4th. I-84 goes through a lot of small towns through NY and CT and we'd see fireworks every few miles from them. It was pretty neat in kind of a "proud to be an American" kind of way...

We NEVER take the boat out July 4th. Too many drunk boaters and it's crowded and just not fun to navigate - at least that's what the Captain of FV SS Fratchie has said.

We did the same thing traveling North on I75 from Cincinnati to Dayton. It was pretty neat!

Yeah, I thought we were going to get bumped into several times while waiting. Which is scary when you are a drunk passenger.

Late to the party, but Happy Canada Day!

There should be a curling stone in that image somewhere.

If it wasn't so cold I'd move up there!

Curling is so weird, and I'm from the most Canadian part of the US.

Not that I don't enjoy watching it once in a while... like every four years.

You're from Florida?

You're from Florida?

Close enough.

No, this is our main claim to being the most Canadian state:

I regret I have but one "like" to give.
