Don't forget to join us for all the fun of a Star-Spangled Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at the Iron Horse Tavern this week.A bit more from the laws regarding fireworks in the state of Georgia:
- It's illegal to shoot off fireworks on roads or highways, or within 100 yards of a hospital, nursing home or prison.
- Fireworks may not be used in a park, historic site, recreational area or other property owned by cities or counties unless special permission has been granted.
- It's illegal (and kind of stupid) to set off fireworks while under the influence.
- (I'd think this one would be obvious) Detonation of fireworks indoors, or within 100 yards of a nuclear power facility, gas station, electric plant, water treatment plant, waste-water treatment plant, any public or private substation is illegal.
The National Council on Fireworks Safety offers the following fireworks safety tips:
- Read the caution labels.
- Wear safety glasses.
- Light one and quickly move away.
- Never relight a "dud." Wait 20 minutes and then soak in a bucket of water (which you should always have handy- along with a working water hose).
- Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in a metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials until the next day.
- Leaves the pets at home. Humans know (usually) what the hell the things are and we jump- dogs and cats don't know what the hell's happening. And, if you're detonating around your house, put your pet in a safe, interior room to minimize their exposure to the sound.
- Make sure your pet has an identification tag, in case it runs off during fireworks.
Ever just not feel like eating?
I'm a "solid" fellow, so I can safely skip a meal, but I just haven't been hungry since last week. I mean, I am eating because I know I need to, but I'm just not "feeling" it.
Well, when I saw this headline, I was excited for a second. Then, I reread it and realized they were talking about their "news" division and not the channel.
The Recording Academy has announced that the 2019 Grammy Awards will will return to Los Angeles for four years beginning in 2019. The announcement today comes on the heels of a the Academy signing a four-year deal to hold the show at the Staples Center.
"We very much consider Staples Center our home and are grateful for the successful relationship we've cultivated throughout the years with AEG and the entire Staples Center team," said Recording Academy president and CEO Neil Portnow. (I'm not sure how that aligns with the show being held in New York next year, though.)
Officials also said they'll "leave the door open for a return to the East Coast" in the future.
Birthdays today include: Kellie Pickler (31); Mark Stoermer of The Killers (40); Charlie Clouser (53) of Nine Inch Nails; David Knights (72) of Procol Harum; and the incomparable Mel Brooks (91).
