    Every holiday with fireworks I have to stay up ridiculously late to keep the dogs calm and soothe my toddler back to sleep multiple times.

    We had a crazy thunderstorm until about 11:30 that kept my son up extra late. I hate thunderstoms but thought at least there won’t be fireworks. 11:31 ole reliable firework Joe around the corner was out there doing his thing and it seems like he doesn’t plan on stopping soon.

    Also firework Joe sets off a ridiculous amount of stuff at 12am on Christmas eve.

      Living in the south you have to contend with the drunk droolers the next street over who come out and empty their gun every thirty minutes or so until 3am.

      Thankfully fireworks aren’t legal here on New Year’s. I hate them too. I hope your son got some sleep. They sure hate thunder!

          Well the difference is I can call the city bylaw officer and they’ll go tell them to quit it, and I won’t get shot.

            Fireworks are very illegal in my state.

            My first Christmas living here when the fireworks we’re going off in the middle of the night I called the cops for the first time in my life. Turns out Joe used to be a cop in the next town over and all my neighbors already knew he was basically immune. I ended up getting a noise complaint because of my dogs, as the fireworks were still going off on the street behind me.
