The one thing I hate about 4th of July is that there's always one pain in the ass neighbor who sets off cannon-size fireworks All. Night. Long.

Just got back from a Fireworks show. It was nice, but I would love to see a Drone show one of these days. The more I'm growing up, the more I wonder if I'm moving past the Fireworks phase in my life. I always loved firework shows (Disney does it best, but the Oakland A's before they moved had awesome shows) but this year I'm starting to see the flaws. I'm starting to wonder if there are alternative means to have a nice show that doesn't make as much noise or is environmentally friendly. Also, in the news a few days ago near Sacramento, there was an explosion at a Firework factory which is completely sad. They are still finding human remains and while I haven't read the entire story, let's just say I'm seeing, reading, and hearing things that are not putting Fireworks in the best of light these days.

As I mentioned in another thread, my city is going to lay off 400 people. My mom works for the city, so far her job is safe. But she wants to study to be a French teacher now. If she succeeds, this going to be the third time in 3 years she changes her job. Teaching is not for her! She underestimates it, and is going to regret it. And then she'll crawl back to the job she has in the city for a forth time now. If I was her, I'd file for an early retirement

I spent a good 10 minutes this morning picking up all the cardboard and paper on my front yard. It was rom the fireworks the neighbors set off last night.

Would have been nice if people could've picked up after themselves.

I think you should need a licence to let off fireworks other than maybe those that are not airborne.

In the UK it goes mad for around 2 weeks around bonfire night. It is awful for pet owners and their pets, plus its dangerous, most fireworks require a minimum distance between the fireworks and spectators which is greater than most gardens.

Leave it to licenced displays, we get a great view of our local one and its confined to one night and it's far enough away we don't end up with dead fireworks in our garden.

I used to love bonfire night.. But Australia so much of a fucking nanny state we couldn't deal with it properly via legislation but banned it. Fucking pussies. Anything that seems too hard for government is banned.
