This year was by far the worst yet in my neighborhood. This crap started last Thursday night and has gone on every night. Of course last night was the worst. Something detonated so close to my house that the windows rattled. My dogs were effing terrified. I got in bed around 9 knowing they would all pile on the bed with me, which they did.
The only good news was the morons setting them off ran out around 10:30. Don't get me wrong, I love fireworks, but setting off giant explosions in crowded suburbs with children and pets is just stupid. Go find a parking lot or a grass field somewhere you nimrods.
