I would love to go to British Columbia too, Red.  I would go to Ontario and Quebec first though.  |

I'd love to go, just to be able to say that I've seen the olympics, and just so I can go in BC. Always wanted to go there, as a human, and as a squirrel - they have huge trees there, it would be awesome to see these. Suposely some are big enough to have a tunnel for the roads! Oh, and the olympics would be cool too  |

You plan on going? I know it's a bit far away, but....  I would find it boring personally.  |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-02-2003 server time |
| yep! |

| It looks like they have something else to celebrate too. Vancouver to host 2010 winter games. |

| I got to see the last few fireworks. Me and my dad went outside and we could see them from my house, then we drove to get to a better less blocked location, saw the last one and it was done. |

It's over.  In two days.........  |

| I don't think they will be canceled, if yes, they should put it on another time, but I doubt they would though... |
| Wren - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| Will they not postpone it to another time? |

Ours is over a small lake that is a recreational area, there's parking at places all around with a path to walk around the lake, where the beach is, is where everyone can sit out, we parked the car there, now my parants are gone to get it.  Oh well. Not the end of the world I guess, I just won't be going. "ooooohhh ahhhhhhh" all night "  |
| Wren - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| That's a good idea. Our's used to be on a hill and we could park so close that it looked like we were standing directly under the fireworks. Now they have moved the location and we can't get very close now. One year we had a thunderstorm before the display. That was kinda neat. Mother nature gave her own show first! I'm sure the pyrotechs were nervous about that!  |

| This sucks. It's raining super hard right now. It's pooring. My mom does not want to go anymore. I don't see the big deal, we will be in the car anyway. Modern fireworks are triggered by electric blasters, so they would work fine in rain, most likely. |

| Because of the crappy weather today, we went to park my mom's car nearby where they will be and came back home in my dad's. We will just get dropped off and stay in the car to watch. We did it in advance because it will get very busy! |

| They are illegal in some states here. |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| Yep, it's crazy how expensive it is. I think it's illegal to sell fireworks in Canada as they have to buy them from the US I think... I forget were I heard this exactly though... |
| Wren - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| It's expensive now to have a fireworks display. The pyrotechs have to have so many permits and a lot of insurance. |
| Chris Vogel - Jul-01-2003 server time |
We never have a fireworks show. I don't know why though. My mother says we used to have one at David Crockett State Park, but they stopped for some reason.  |
| Wren - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| There will be fireworks here Friday. This place has grown so, it's hard to get through town at lunch time. Can't imagine what it will be like with a fireworks display. |

Canadians shoot fireworks too? I thought that was a US-only thing... Are you allowed to shoot fireworks at your home? Can you even buy fireworks? |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| Same thing as USA day, but for Canada. What sucks is that it's raining today! I hope we can just go see the fireworks and stay in the car. We also watched the celebration in Ottawa - it's nice there, sun, heat. Would love to be there! Vive le Canada! |
| Wren - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| What are you celebrating on Canada Day? |
| Chris Vogel - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| Happy Japan Canada Day! I should listen to Celine Dion all day.... |
| Carpet Rodent - Jul-01-2003 server time |
Ditto here Red!  All the best Canada! |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-01-2003 server time |
| I'm 1:27 hours late but oh well. Happy Canada day!!! |
