Snakes

 One of the things I remember growing up was snakes on the 4th of July.  It seemed like we always had them even when we didn't do much else for the 4th of July.  

When I was growing up in Chicago, we lived in an area where we didn't do much fireworks ourselves.  The main reason was that two of our neighbors actually sold fireworks to the ballparks in the area.  Every year, the two houses would compete to see who had the better fireworks display.  I don't know if those neighbors are still in my old neighborhood, but those days are still pretty fresh in my mind.
