Are you annoyed by neighbors setting off fireworks?

In my area, only fireworks of the colored lights variety are legal, but that doesn’t stop people from bringing up cherry bombs and M-80’s from the American south where everything is legal. I wouldn’t mind if they stopped the detonations at 10 p.m., but they don’t…my dog is inconsolably terrorized, and the cats run and hide. I have heard shrapnel hitting my roof, and found spent bottle rocket residue in my yard.

Still, this is preferable to New Year’s Eve, when area rednecks fire guns into the air, oblivious to the physics that what goes up, must come down. They are more concerned with free-dumbs than responsibilities… 🙀
 

In Pennsylvania, it used to be anything more than a 'sparkler' was "illegal". That never stopped my neighbors. And, now, that some fireworks are legal, my neighbors put on a show that rivals any big city production. On the holidays, their shows don't bother me. But celebrating Aug 12th @ 11:45 PM does.
