We are very PC here in the islands, but don't get between an Asian and his fireworks! I was in Costco yesterday, and they had $92 boxes stacked to the ceiling. HONOLULU (AP) - Vendors say the sale of fireworks on Oahu has been brisk, with the Daiei stores selling all their supply. Tim Ching of Grocery Outlet in Kalihi says he sold his last boxes of firecrackers last night. He says he reordered Monday and Tuesday, but his distributors didn't have any left. Ching says he ordered 20 percent more firecrackers this year than last. Fire Department spokesman Captain Emmit Kane says that, as of Monday, more than 86-hundred firecracker permits had been sold, compared with 44-hundred at the same time last year and nearly as many as for all of last year. Kane says vendors have brought to Oahu more than 67-hundred cases of firecrackers this year, more than twice as many as last year. The 25-dollar permits allow residents to buy five-thousand firecrackers.
