Fireworks in Baja
Bought some at a liquor store on the Malecon in Loreto once. They were like small bombs.
Are fireworks sold openly in La Paz or Cabo? Like where?
I (still) like explosions.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Outside La Paz:
Not sure why but the fireworks stores seem to be outside of La Paz proper. There are at least three stores on the Los Planes highway, Mx 286. The
first one is across from the auto recycling yard, there are two more on the left about 3-5 miles up the hill. The signs say - "Cohetes".
Judging by the explosions/displays in the night skies - They sell some Big Boys......

While you're watching the bombs bursting in air think about the wild and domestic animals that are shaking with fear, domestic animals bolting and
getting lost, losing their food and shelter, and their brokenhearted owners frantically searching for their best friends.
Skip the firecrackers.

Me too.
I can't figure out what types of sexual repressions these explosives are addressing? Some kind of orgasm substitute, perhaps?

Let's ask Fulano :-)
I'll add that the dogs (and cats) can hear the fireworks miles away. Not good stuff trying to find your pet at night.......if you do. The firework
sales trailer is outside of the city in San Felipe......perhaps they are located for safety reasons?
Leash up your animals asap when you hear fireworks..........

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Count me in too. I can't figure out for the life of me why people want to stand around and watch these "small bombs" go boom. I personally know the
turmoil it causes animals and it's not pretty.

Relax people.
Don't think anyone thinks it's unPatriotic to shoot off fireworks. Or is that the case?
I'm talking holidays and special events on the beach in Pescadero.
Keep your dogs home at night.

Lots of people have dogs out here on the beach in Pescadero. Not a good way to treat your neighbors. Retired fire-fighter? Military? Something
with fire and explosions I guess. No entiendo? Tomas

I am not a dog owner.
But I can certainly see the usefulness of scaring the sheet out of some of these NON confined, nocturnal garbage can browsers.
If you let your dogs roam on the streets at will.....I have zero sympathy from the effects of fireworks on them.

BAN THESE FIREWORKS!
then I say we go after the flippin emergency vehicles, what with their wailin sirens that leave poor fido with a splitting headache that lasts for
minutes!
now we go after the locals with there clearly modified exhaust pipes that sound like a continuous string of firecrackers going off! almost as annoying
to these pups as the many rich gringos with their lifted F450 diesels that send me running when they fire up these beasts!
now we go go after these careless mariachi's who prowl the streets at all hours what with their annoying drums and high pitched trumpets. Im pretty
sure rover would bite em if he wasnt cowering behind a trash can trying to escape the painful tunes, the same trash can that some careless dog hater
just threw away cooked chicken bones instead of first pulverizing to a fine powder then burying deep underground!
power to the pooch I say!

How about some perspective if you're up for it.
Fireworks in Sayulita for special events? Think Mexicans invented fireworks along with the Chinese.

Chamacos love to send up a skyrocket over your house and rattle the windows and crockery......at 3:00AM. I had a neighbor on the mainland who loved to
do this. My response? I bought a used semi truck tire tube for 50 pesos at a llantera, paid a hundred pesos to have a balconeria fill it with
acetylene gas.
Yeah you can guess the results. Probably equal to 3-4 sticks of dynamite. Used a 15-minute highway flare as a fuse. And no, no one got hurt. Some
cracked windows but the jerk got the message. No one else likes him either.

I think what ticks people off about cahuetes is that they blow out their hearing aids.
