Shortest Loudest Coldest

A number of moons ago Robert and I were volunteered to head up the fireworks for the Chinese New Year Parade. Butte lays claim to the shortest, loudest and coldest Chinese New Year parade in the country. The parade goes from the courthouse to the Mai Wah Chinese History Museum. It consists of Montana's only Parade dragon followed by a motley of fools banging pots. Our contribution was to recruit people to light firecrackers off cigars and chuck them somewhere children weren't. We mostly succeeded. Its a complete public safety nightmare, which is just the way I like it. The culmination is a 10,000 fire cracker salute (and we threw in some Saturn missiles left over from last 3rd of July). I bet your Chinese New Year was lame. Year of the Dog!
