Our town allows us to set off our own fireworks. Lots of fireworks. My back fence is the reservation boundary. Lots of *very loud*, otherwise illegal fireworks. July 4th is *very loud* here.
I’ve noticed that the number of fireworks set off before the Fourth is directly proportional to the economic climate for the year. By the sound of all the *very loud* fireworks, it’s been a very, very good year.
I’m also not going to get sleep for the next two days.
Meaning, I’m also getting no sleep tonight.
