well, the nice thing when you drop the lit match *directly* into the full crate of firecrackers, is that it is *reeeeeeeeaaaaally* noisy for a few seconds, but it's over pretty quick. so the cats both went scrambling under the bed to hide but by the time i got over my surprise and got done closing the windows (and i don't have very many windows to close) one of them was back out (looking REALLY peeved about the whole thing), and the more timorous one was actually rather close to the front instead of waaaay in the back.
i remember when france won the world cup which was held *in paris* (12 years ago ?) ; i thought the celebrations must have been like the liberation, just at the end of the war. suddenly i felt like i could understand what was going on in the photos you see. it was odd, but fascinating.
