So yeah, it's the Fourth of July, the day of the birth of my country. The fireworks are blasting all around the neighborhood at 11:30 pm. I'm all for loving your country, and I do understand that blowing off fireworks is a symbol of "the rocket's red glare" and "bombs bursting in air."
But really? I think it's just an excuse for a bunch of drunk pyromaniacs to blow shit up.
The time it becomes irritating for me is when I'm trying to put my kids to sleep (after we've blown our own shit up and sparkled until we just about puke) and the jack wagon(s) down the street are setting off half sticks of dynamite that are literally rattling my windows.
Thank you to all of our troops and veterans who are risking their lives so we have the freedom to blow stuff up until someone gets hurt!
