A reported $75,000 is what one millionaire in Jupiter Island spend on fireworks this weekend. Gotta give him/her credit for a very nice display we enjoyed from across the water. The Saturday night sky was lit up by all these rockets and made an amazing colorful spectacle.

We live in a community with a lot of snowbirds; people who are here for the winter and go back to north in the summer. This is the time of year they're all heading north again. My guess is that somebody wanted to celebrate the fact they were re-migrating, but who knows. Why somebody wants to spend so much moulah on pyrotechnics is beyond me.  I think it was just a millionaire power trip. Half of Hobe Sound came out to see it and we all enjoyed it a lot.

Among the rich and famous of Jupiter Island (just across the intracoastal from us) we have Celine Dion and Tiger Woods. Luckily we don't hear Celine practicing, hohoho. Tiger is building his house about 2 miles from us, but I am sure he'll be living there soon. Maybe next year he can chip in for some bottle rockets.
