Fireworks

Just like anyone else, I enjoy a good fireworks show….when done by professionals in a safe environment. What I do not like is when people do them in front of their house with no regard for their neighbor’s safety or the fact that they might find them annoying. I live on a cul-de-sac with a school’s ball field at the end of the street. It seems that somebody is setting off fireworks all year long. It annoys me around the Fourth of July let alone in September or March. I remember when I was a kid growing up in Jersey City, NJ there were always fireworks going off around the Fourth of July. It was also expected sometimes on News years Eve. But pretty much quiet the rest of the year. As I get older I can’t help but wonder if they annoyed me as kid and I just don’t remember or if I am turning into the man on the block that kept the kids balls when they went into his yard?? I hope it is not the latter of the two. With that said, have a happy and safe 4th of July.
