Yes, it would've. You blew it. That's OK, cuz the Xists blew it too.
But do come next year, and prepare to gird your loins.

Yeah.
Pop Truwe and I accidentally started a grass fire, then injured
ourselves trying to extinguish it. See, there was a whole bunch of dry
grass on one side of a chain fence, and we were lighting fireworks on
the other side. Quite a bit away from the fence, I might add. The VERY
LAST firework in our box was one of those double-damned Ground Bloom
Flowers from two years back -- we haven't bought them recently because
we found that Ground Attacks are not only cheaper, but actually fly when
lit upside down -- and while the others were content to skitter in place
for a while, this one lit out like a crazy flaming monkey and shot under
the fence.
Pop immediately tried to climb up the fence, while I tried to run around
the fence. Both were equally stupid ideas. I dunno why we were
worried, as the grass in question was a strip isolated between a dirt
road and a wet soccer field (where we were lighting the fireworks) and
railroad tracks. But it seemed pretty clear that we should do
something. Mom and Matie, meanwhile, loaded all our stuff in the VW
microbus and prepared to make a getaway.
Pop, in hurling himself over the fence, found that the only way was to
put pressure on the pointy bits at the top, which resulted in stigmata.
Did I mention I run like a girl? A big fat girl. Anyway, I was going
at top speed, which is the speed where my breasts are pretty much
hitting me in the face but I don't care because goddamn it there is a
FIRE to be PUT OUT or else the WORLD will END in the SCREAMS of the
DAMNED. At which point I tripped over a piece of ground that was at the
same elevation as the rest of the pieces of ground. That's when my
ankle made a funny sort of popping noise and felt really warm.
"Hey," I thought, "That's probably not too good."
But it felt okay, so I kept going. I reached the fire by the time it
was mostly embers and gave it a few tentative stomps. Then I showed Pop
how to get back around the fence. Nobody made fun of me for not showing
up in time, because at least I tried. Also, because I was the only one
to have adhesive bandages in my purse, and did a good job of cleansing
and binding Pop's wounds by the light of a penlight, also in my purse.
It was arguably one of our better Fourth of Julys.
Also, I re-typed our canonical Fireworks List so that it makes sense. I
did away with the x to * to ***** ratings and made only three ratings:
Don't Buy Again, Okay/Good, and Sweet Jesus Buy Again Yes. I also put
them all in the same list alphabetically so one didn't have to check
both the Good and Bad lists when shopping for fireworks. I would be
proud to email this fine obsessive work to anyone who finds themselves
buying the same fireworks yearly, even the ones that suck, because they
are suckered in by pretty graphics. I too know that pain.
The Truwes enjoy fireworks that:
1. are legal in Oregon (cops are fascists around here about this)
2. shoot actual flame balls (Wrath of the Hydra is WONDERFUL for this,
also Crackling Demon Fountain)
3. whistle loudly enough to cause physical pain AND/OR sound like the
screams of the damned
4. last a long time
5. are quite tall/big/are bright enough to cause physical pain
6. "These sparklers are okay, I guess, but they aren't setting the grass
on fire." - Mom Truwe, sounding disappointed
We have fine genetic material.

In case anyone was terribly concerned about this, I appear to be fine.
I woke up this morning and my ankle was a ball of intense pain, but it
slowly got better. As of now, it only hurts when I'm going up the
stairs. That's sort of fun, because it's my right ankle that hurts,
while my left knee has always liked to crap out occasionally while
climbing stairs. All of a sudden, whee! it buckles unexpectedly. I
lurch up to my room like a shambling Lovecraftian horror right now.
I will not trade places with that bullet-ridden lich in the madhouse!
