The area in which I live does not have an official fireworks show, but we could hear the locals celebrating.

It was quite a racket around my house last night, but fortunately my doggo is chill with loud bangs and fireworks. Our last house was near a railyard and a steel yard and a gravel pit; and our new one is close enough to an Army test range to hear explosions in the distance sometimes. I reckon Finnigan is just used to that kind of thing.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Our girl has gone deaf, noise is not a problem anymore. But we need to keep the shades closed, she still goes into protection mode when she sees them.

There wasn't much recreational bombing in my part of Phoenix last night. Maybe the heat kept the celebrations indoors.

I haven't seen much reason to celebrate the birth of this nation since Bush the Elder was president. But, assholes with miniature bombs are gonna be assholes.

I’ve read where some communities in the US are replacing fireworks with drone displays, like this:





Seems like an outstanding idea.
