My "celebratory" feeling is somewhat lacking after someone in this neighborhood played with fireworks for close to THREE hours last night - from before 10PM to about 12:30. Unsure if there is still a burn ban here presently - its still dry. I'm surrounded by trees & woods up back. So not feeling all that sharp today. I hope & pray they used all that crap up last night, but afraid it was only the FIRST of July. Do I sound like a bitchy old woman?

Only if I sound like a "bitchy old man" to the same problem.

I'm thinking I'm not the only one in my neighborhood that feels this way either.

there are worse things than being a "bitchy old man." I say this after having been one last week when I told some kids who were chinning on a low-hanging branch of the tree outside my window and it was obvious a slightly bigger kid could have torn it off the tree. it reminded of a lady in my apartment complex when I was about four or five sticking her head out the window and yelling "hey! that tree has feelings too!"

Maggie, your bitchiness is for a good reason, especially near dry woods. Stupid, selfish people feel entitled to have their way and shoot off firecrackers and fireworks, no matter how it affects other people (especially those with PTSD), pets and wildlife.
