As in previous years. I mean 4 days of bomms and bangs? Kind of nice if you ask me.

Started just before dark... Got progressive worse starting around 10:30 and got louder for a few hours after that, going from sporadic to pretty much nonstop. More than a few window-rattlers in all of that. And I could hear some of the people nearly a block away yelling and howling and carrying on like maniacs.

Because, as always, everyone sure has plenty of money for booze, drugs and fireworks come the 4th. And so it falls on a Monday, meaning people have to work the next day? Fuck them and fuck their sleep.

Many of them don't even bothered with the flashy pretty colors. After all, it's all about those sweet, sweet BOOMS. M80's, M100's, hell, just firing your guns into the air... So long as everyone can hear you. 12 am? 2 pm on the 5th? Can't have quiet - you might hear yourself think!

This day has grown to become an unpleasant experience, I'm sorry to say.
