despite the fact that i've lived in south carolina for 2 1/2 years and have celebrated 3 new years eves here, last night i experienced my first true "south carolina" new years. we went to some friends' house out in the boonies to hang out, play some games* and light fireworks . it was unbelievable! i've never really seen "non-professional" fireworks, having grown up in a state (surrounded by other states) where fireworks were illegal. all i could say was "holy smokes!" they scared the crap out me. they were like real fireworks that, like, went up in the air and let off spays of color(s). it was totally crazy. i kept wishing mom was there because the booms were really loud and i know she likes those. fun times, but definitely a dangerous sport.
*as an aside, chris kicked butt on dance dance revolution (but not on karaoke revolution).

If you're still around July 4, come to our street and see an amazing display of fireworks. Couple of vets who've been friends & neighbors forever put on an hour-long-plus show that rivals what I've seem for small towns. Everybody around sets up lawn chairs in the park and watches, and the Cayce FD even has a pumper truck there just in case.
(BTW: It was getting stuck in the traffic for that display our 1st 4th here that, sadly, left your Hubbs waiting at the airport. Sorry again...)
Having lived elsewhere, I'll admit it still boggles the mind that the folks who set off fireworks all last night, this afternoon, etc., aren't breaking the law.
