i’m with Walter… i’ll keep him company under there. i Hate fireworks. with a Passion.
the noise, the sudden bright pop of light n color…
yep, scooch over pooch. n dude, drop the blanket if you please. Thanks.
I don’t mind that from the pros, but then they shut down at a decent hour. Last night when I went to bed after midnight (I work 3 – 11pm) some yahoos were out trying to blow their hands off.
It sounds like it is the same for all of us across the country. My family and I will go to the city fireworks. They are pretty amazing. But, like James said, they end at a reasonable hour, usually about 10:00 PM. But the neighborhood explosions usually last up to midnight. It’s interesting how we chose to celebrate this day. We use a Chinese invention for scaring away bad spirits. And the dogs HATE it. Face it… we just like to blow shit up. Happy 4th everybody.
I was gifted with a two day old kitten. My only hope is that kittens grow up faster than human babies. It’s taking feedings well. Should call it firecracker.
(think the mother got spooked, was moving her litter and dropped one in the yard)
It passed unfortunately. Not from anything I could discern. I wrapped it up carefully as I always do, and took it to the veternarian’s burial pit on Monday. I was dutiful and set alarm and got up every two hours to make formula *KMR and feed it, clean it, make it go poo and clean it again. Then it either slept on my collarbone while I laid down or in a special hot pad heated enclosure. I did the best I could. It got 2.5 more days and a lot of human-mama (vs cat-mama) love.
The neighbors two down (I own the next down so….) and her parents are three down, and the one one up from me is related so… the ones two down invited spouse and I to come eat grilled stuff and partake of fireworks from 10 am to midnight. Spouse can eat anything and I’m on restricted so. I went to the fireworks stand and bought some nice kid oriented fireworks and donated them. Spouse ate lunch and drank their soda, they cooked vatloads and had a garage fridge full of sodas… and adult beverages in that cooler. I left for a few hours and came back for some seriously mondo fireworks. (Both times bringing my own adult beverage as I couldn’t have beer) Between their entire family and the neighbor one up and my few but expensive donations, they had a LOT of fireworks and yes it was good. A large family four down had some of the big chrysanthemum shells as did one a few beyond those and that way, and another batch a few blocks to the other way from us. Everyone packed up before midnight and our hosts had the kids clean up at early the next morning. Totally a BLAST-they offered and I declined on shooting some off, I said I bought for the kids. okay….

HAPPY TREASON DAY, UNGRATEFUL COLONISTS!
