¡Paz!: I'm only 6 days late

On my dad's side of the family, we did our Pioneer Day celebration on the 26th of July. Well of course just now I'm deciding to write about it. I'm rationing that it's still July, so it's okay. I took some pictures of the fireworks we did, and am deciding names for them respectively.

Frizzy hair

As beautiful as it looks, picture this as someone's hair. It's every girl's nightmare not being able to control frizzy hair. Their are multiple hair care products out there for controlling frizzy hair. Now just imagine, all of those hair care products literally disappear in some freak way. There is no possible way to make any more. Just imagine all that chaos...sales in scrunchies and ponytails bands would suddenly go up. It would be the female's response to the disappearance of all that frizz control.

The story of an average suburban female and her husband after the disappearance of frizz control.

"JimJimJimJim JIM!!"

"What is it Caroline, has Susan gotten into our flour supply again?"

"No Jim, it's worse than that! I was going to take a shower, and the conditioner is gone!"

"Caroline, we probably just used it all, what's the big deal about that conditioner anyway?"

Caroline looks at Jim with crazed eyes, one of her eyebrows seems perpetually raised in concern all of a sudden.

"Jim, normally I would just go and buy some more, but look at the TV and internet!"

Jim then proceeds to look at the news on TV and multiple articles on the internet.

"I don't understand Caroline...all frizz control products...gone?"

"You've seen it Jim...maybe somebody's pulling some elaborate prank! This will all be over come a few weeks, I'll just use shampoo for now."

Weeks later...

"Jim, my last ponytail band snapped! Will you go out and buy some more?"

Caroline gestured to a commercial on TV.

"Those kind specifically, it says that they have dual strength and help keep frizzy hair matted down!"

And so the females of the world that cared about frizzy-ness were doomed to ponytails, braids, buns, and pigtails for the rest of eternity. The end.

Wish upon a dandelion

My mom is a novice gardener that is testing her green thumb in our backyard. I have to give her props, she's been reading books, maintaining a successful compost pile, and making the most out of the soil in our backyard, which is really crappy. The garden has produced lots of good things, but unintentionally produces weeds like any garden out there. While we were waiting for dinner, I was in my Grandma's backyard with her. I picked a dandelion and blew on it, making a wish. Aww, isn't that sweet? Not for mom, the gardener.

I told her that I made a wish and she scrunched up her face and proclaimed that it would make more weeds.

That killed the mood faster than tri-strength weed killer, if such a thing exists.

In my defense, the wind would have picked up eventually and the seeds would have blown wherever they desired at the time. My grandmother has a garden too, and the dandelion that I picked was very near the garden. I blew the seeds the opposite direction of the garden. The day has been saved yet again!

Neon microorganisms

That's about all I can think of that would be appropriate for this kind of picture. If you've ever taken biology, then you'll know that when your teacher hands you some algae from his fish tank to look at, you wish it would be more exciting. For the most part, all you really see is a few squiggly lines and maybe something little bug things that resembles a dust mite that you see in vacuum cleaner commercials. Wouldn't it be cool if you looked under the microscope and saw this instead? Don't deny it, this would make class more fun and maybe people wouldn't skip class so much. I can just see the thoughts running through young adolescent minds now:

"Oh man, I really need to get my grade up in biology, so instead of skipping, I'll actually go! I know today is the day we're looking at stuff under microscopes, I can't wait to see what beauties await me under that slide of algae!"

There would be so many more scientists of all kinds if this were a thing.

The ultimate Ferris Wheel

Yuck, I really hate Ferris Wheels. I can handle most roller coasters just fine, but I hate being suspended in the air for a long period of time and having nothing to do but observe how high up you are.

This is a Ferris Wheel that has magically being suspended really high up in the air, neon lights and everything. The people that are on this are either thrilled or petrified because their spouse/significant other/family has forced them to go on it and now look what's happened. All they can do is wait while the rescue helicopters arrive and attempt to get everyone out safely.

I don't know if many other of these firework pictures have story potential, so you can just enjoy them in plainness.
