There have been a few random poppings all day. In fact, I was surprised that none of them came from across the street, especially after all the stuff they blew up last year. So much, that they got a little visit from the borough police department--someone complained of the heavy sulfur smell. Since it was the 4th, all my neighbors got was a warning. No sooner do the cops leave, when they started firing off skyrockets. One of those got away...took a hard right, and put a nice big dent in the side of one of their carsAerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

There are fireworks going on right now. They sound pretty close but there are trees in front of my apartment so I can't see them. I noticed a sign at the park I go to near work that they are doing fireworks tomorrow...at 5pm. What's the point of doing them in daylight? Actually, I can't even think where they'll set them off from that's far enough from the trees...
One of the fire stations I pass on my way home has on their sign, "Fireworks are illegal"I don't go in for ancient wisdom

When I lived in Kansas, every evening at dusk starting from July 2, I'd go outside with a glass of wine and sit in the hammock and watch the fireworks being shot off around the neighhborhood, ending with a MASSIVE display on the 4th - seriously - some neighborhoods would get together and pool money and buy up to $10,000 worth each year!!! It was amazing to watch them for 3-4 hours each night!!!The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

Harrisburg set theirs off earlier tonite. And of course, there's always a few people setting off their own personal fireworks, some legal and some not.Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
