Firecracker Firecracker Boom Boom Boom
I was just having a discussion with Hubby about the appeal of firecrackers. I love fireworks--the kind that light up the sky and are immediately followed by the oooohs and aaaahs of the crowd. But firecrackers don't do anything but pop loudly in your ear. There is not aesthetic value that I can tell. Am I missing something? I've been pondering this as my neighbors continue to light theirs every night right after the kids go to bed. In this county there are fireworks tents on every corner, so you have to start celebrating early to get your money's worth, I guess. I feel like an old woman, but really...do people like this? Hubby thinks it's kind of fun, so I guess some people do. Is this a guy/girl difference, or is it my sensory overload problem? Any feedback?

Oh, good. I thought that was just in Jefferson County. In fact, I had some friends over last night and when the neighbors started up around 10:30, one girl said, "It's not even the 4th of July yet." That made me think that mine is the only neighborhood who practices the early celebration! But we have the tents on every corner, too. Jon and I have begun to call them "tent revivals." :o)
We dislike fireworks around here because it reeks havoc with our dog. I like big displays, but I think individual fireworks should be illegal everywhere.... just my 2 cents. -Jen
Loud noises scare me!!
