Spark of Inspiration

Visiting a friend last night in Chicago. Every suburb has their own light show.

July 4th firework shows were LOUD and went from 8:30 pm – 11:30 pm.

Here’s how it looked.

First photo, fireworks were starting low, 8:30 pm.

Second photo, fireworks started getting higher. Now, two light shows.

Third photo, three light shows going on, 10:00 pm and on.

I have to be honest, it was hard to be excited about this. We’ve got 35K migrants who arrived in Chicago. In addition, inflation is out of control.

Imagine if these cities would have combined their firework show to one town and used money from the two other light shows to help those in need.

Instead, they want to increase our taxes again.

We’re in a tough economy, when do towns stop wasting money?

Sorry to sound like a downer, but this was on my mind last night.
