The 5th of July is Just as Boomtastic

As someone who didn't grow up anywhere near Pittsburgh, the concepts of townships and municipalities and that thing where there are 17,023,623 separate little governments within one county has always baffled me. I just don't get the purpose of having all of that duplication of services and such.

However, when my kid suddenly decides she is done being scared of fireworks, I use and abuse all of that duplication to the best of my abilities. A little googling here and there and I found myself a township that was doing their 4th of July celebration on the 5th of July.

HUZZAH! MORE STUFF THAT GOES BOOM!

You just go on with your bad self, Pittsburgh. Keep up all that redundancy.

(An aside--that photo is straight out of the camera. I kinda love that it looks fake when it's not.)
