Fireworks

At the supermarket the other day I noticed fireworks for sale! (In a supermarket! It's always surprising the things they sell in supermarkets here.) I haven't bought any yet but I am on summer vacation and have a little time on my hands. If I can't find an excuse before then, I'm sure explosions will help get me into the spirit come the Fourth of July.

I also noticed that they sell chewing tobacco. As if smoking the stuff wasn't disgusting enough! That's one American custom I won't be embracing.
