Happy 4th Of July!!
We usually enjoy all of the festivities surrounding the 4th of July (I met my wife 51 years ago today at a 4th party). Moving into town a few years back, we had no issues with the neighborhood celebrations. But, as always, someone takes things a little too far and ruins it for others. A family down the street started popping off illegal fireworks. A little annoying, but bearable. However, last year he moved his show to the T-intersection in front of our house. The noise was bad enough, but the residue on our lawn and roof was a little too much. I didn't say anything at the time (didn't want to be THAT neighbor), but was preparing for this year. And, a city police officer moved in a few doors down the street, so I was curious how he'd handle it.
Well, yesterday, wifey was talking to the next door neighbor, and fireworks came up. Seems the local police paid the offending neighbor (who happens to be a policeman in another town) a visit last year the next day, and "slapped his pee-pee", so to speak. Hopefully tonight will just be the normal "safe-and-sane" fireworks. We'll see.
As a post-script, many of the local municipalities who put on the larger fireworks shows have had to cancel this year due to the massive fireworks fire and explosion in Esparto, Ca., a major supplier. 7 people missing. Here's a link showing one of the explosions taken from a local news helicopter.
