And one more thing . . .

I would only allow the sale of fireworks for professional displays.

There is a big public display in the park behind my house every year. 
I didn't know if it would be on this year because of all the summer drought and wildfires,  but they are running it.  I hope its safe now we've had a bit of rain.    It gets pretty deafening too.

This was a shot from over my garden a couple of years ago.





And another one . .





I don't need to buy a ticket to go!

Another thing that bugs me is,  idle rich men,  who have more money that they will ever need,  and waste it on more toys.

I am thinking of what I read today about Elon Musk again.
The article said  -

Quote:

'Musk now claims to have unveiled the world's first flying car.'
'The redesigned Tesla Roadster has rocket thrusters that help the vehicle take off,  flip, and accelerate from
0 - 60 mph in under one second.    This is due to begin production in 2028.'

Unquote.

What with Trump playing with his space rockets, and Musk with his flying cars . . .
What is it with men?   Why do men have to have toys?

All I say is . .  WHY?   

If I had money to burn like those two,   I would use it very differently.   
I know I would spend a lot on helping stop animal abusers, for a start.  The ones who mass breed beautiful, noble wild animals just for the despicable rich shooting 'safari' lot to enjoy shooting dead just for fun and yet another trophy..
I would end bull fighting and the bull running once and for all.
I would stop all the British posh nobs hunting once and for all.
I would build more prisons and stick all the puppy farm breeders inside.
I would  stop the Chinese imprisoning Bears and draining the bile from them all their life.

. . .  and many, many more things like that. 
 
It's only the wealthy prats who would want a flying car to show off and play with.   
Why can't they grow up and stop forever wanting another status symbol for their collection!   

 Something else to consider...

It's really sunny here today still a bit cold though.  I've got pulled pork in the slow cooker, should be ready by 6pm.
For some reason I turned the clocks back last night        I must have read it somewhere, thankfully I only did the bedroom clocks ! 

Mmmm,  I bet that smells lovely cooking slowly like that.
The meat is soooo  tender when it's been slow cooked too isn't it.  Yummy.
