Well, most of the headlines said Ontario, so ...

I can't imagine the draw of having that much in explosive power sitting around in my home.

I actually wondered... but my default was Canada.

I think privately owned rocket-type fireworks are a supremely stupid idea. They're legal in Oregon, which means that people start shooting them off starting in late June and continue for several weeks. They also shoot them off on NYE, and when Biden was elected (it IS Portland after all...). They're super loud and scare the bejeesus out of pets and folks with ptsd. I'm not a fan.

I assumed it wasn’t Canada because it didn’t come up in my newsfeed. Also, I’m so used to seeing Ontario and it NOT actually being about the province where I live that I’ve learned to ignore it.

Ontario CA is where the L.A.'S two biggest and nicest/most secure truckstops are -- across the street from each other.

So I figured a semi...
