Once upon a time, a long time ago, when Ma was still around and good fireworks were still illegal in our neighboring states, three of us took a ride to Tennessee - where a certain brother promised there would be roadside fireworks stores just off the highway. We drove and rove, and were 20 minutes into the "if we don't find fireworks in the next half hour, we're pulling over, tossing you out and driving back home" time limit, there appeared above the highway a giant billboard:

BIMBO's
Fireworks*Italian Deli*Gas station*Souvenirs*Convenience store*Gifts


Said brother was quite relieved, and we bought plenty to make Ma's July 4th celebration duly celebratory!
