We've come up with a few ideas for what really happened last night. Call us crazy conspiracy theorists or nut jobs if you must, but the truth is out there.

Here is a fun event for you and the kids, especially if you have one of those deep thinkers in the family. How do you make fireworks different colors? How do fireworks explode into interested shapes?

The kids will even get to make their own sparkler and launch a rocket!
June 30, 2011 Well kids, looks like you won't get to pop your fireworks if you live in the city limits of Shreveport or in Bossier Parish. Just got the word from Fred Sanders, Assistant to the Fire Chief of Shreveport.

June 15, 2011 Got in my truck to head home yesterday afternoon and at 7pm it was still in the 90's. It's only June...what is August going to be like? And the drought we're having has all of Louisiana, including Caddo Parish now, under a burn ban. And that's not likely to end any time in the near future. I checked the Weather Channel's 10-Day forecast for our neck of the woods and it's dismal at best.
