Earwigs like Cardboard and Other Things I Learned from Running a Firework Stand

I was going to write a whole post about this all-encompassing experience that was running a firework stand for the two weeks leading up to the 4th of July. As I was in the thick of it, I couldn't remember my life being any other way than this nomadic, car-sleeping, overheated, underselling existence, but now that it's a few days in the past it almost feels like it never happened. Such a gift in life that time passes at the same rate for bad things as for good things and just like that, the worst is over.

Thankfully, I made a video to immortalize the ridiculous times of our explosive-selling homelessness which you can enjoy below. We did this partially to save for our upcoming trek to Kilimanjaro. You don't have to be rich to travel, just determined.
