Fireworks! (and more FE4)

So, Michigan lifted its restrictions on the kind of fireworks that everyone was going to Ohio and Indiana to acquire anyway.  Communities have responded with restrictions at the municipal level; my town decided to place limits, saying that these previously banned fireworks could only be set off the day before, the day after, and the day of a national holiday.  

It didn't say "U.S. federal holiday," and lemme tell you-- there were a lot of patriotic souls celebrating Canada Day in style on this side of the river.

I don't particularly care because after seven years in The D I'm used to crazy firework summers, but I'll say that pyromaniacs across Michigan appear to be acting the way drinkers acted once the Volsted Act was repealed-- a little bit nuts in their glee.  I expect a de facto ban will creep back, bit by bit, over the next year or so.

There's this little magic moment in FE4 wherein a you move a character, just happen to plonk them beside their intended, and suddenly the command "Give" is available in their options.  It's kind of like an "achievement unlocked" message-- Lester and Lana Unlocked!  Arthur and Tinny unlocked!
