Unfortunately, in NY state you can't do any of this. It's either go to a fireworks display being held somewhere or get them in Pennsylvania and set them off illegally.
With strawberries, oh yeah, I agree. Just take a look at the "regular" ones compared to organic or from a local farm. Strawberries are naturally small and sweet, not humongous.
I'm interested to see "Room". I read the book when it first came out and that's some heavy stuff. I wonder how they'll show what the boy is thinking. Perhaps voice over?
Yes, there definitely must be some kind of woman shortage...perhaps they were discontinued. If your'e lucky maybe they'll bring them back like Hostess did with Twinkies.
