Crossing state lines this holiday weekend? If you're planning to set off a fireworks display of your own making, then be sure to check out the laws regulating firework usage in each state. The National Council on Fireworks Safety reported that 9,800 people were injured using fireworks in 2007, so please don't become a statistic. We all know that fireworks can be dangerous, so be smart and use the proper techniques to keep yourself safe. Have a fantastic fourth!

How do you feel about consumer fireworks?

Good news for fans (and there were many) of the "50 United States and their Mottos" map created by artist Emily Wick. Wick emailed us yesterday to let us know that she's created a linoleum block print of our dear Washington D.C. to commemorate the inauguration. We may not have representation in Congress (there's a reason why our license plates read "Taxation Without Representation") but at least we're well represented here.

Contact Wick to find out more information about ordering prints.
