My neighbors do the big loud explosions (M80s and M90s) that rattle my windows (in fact, broke one once). Go inside to get away from the noise is not an option here.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I love San Antonio, and I'm glad to hear they're not as bad as KC on that.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-90472170490684319072013-07-09T13:25:49.127-05:002013-07-09T13:25:49.127-05:00I don't mind it.

But I LOVE to see my neighbors and family having fun, doing all the things I got to partake in when I was un niño. And something about the reminiscence of the popped fireworks laying all over the streets and sidewalks the next morning has always moved me, even as a child. I even like to clean it up (on my street anyway lol) As far as the noise...c'mon. Go inside and I think you'll be just fine. As far as pets go...they're the only ones I feel sorry for but at the same time, something tells me they're just like us... Some people love em and some people hate em.

And I remember the teabagger rally here in Tucson with Sarah Palin's ads showing democrats in the crosshairs.

Just gun crazy.<br /><br />They're still out there right now, exploding fireworks and shooting off guns. It will go on through much of next week. *sigh*Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-34495221461788629672013-07-06T21:08:26.877-05:002013-07-06T21:08:26.877-05:00Hi Linda,
May I join your rant, please?
Here in ...Hi Linda,<br /><br />May I join your rant, please?<br /><br />Here in Tucson I worry most about the gunfire on the Fourth of July. It's bad enough every other day of the year after the bars close, but I'm usually not tempted to go outside at that time. It's not unusual for someone to be hit by a bullet that dares to return to Earth.<br /><br />The time around Independence Day has much wider margins then the bewitching hour following bar closing. The Fourth of July brings a week or two of noisy celebration. Why? Celebration of what? The worst offender I know of is a teabagger down the road. He calls himself a patriot while believing the U.S. Constitution is outmoded and that it's time to replace our government by force. That's a patriot?Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-67854207655156174702013-07-06T14:50:30.738-05:002013-07-06T14:50:30.738-05:00LOL, Mary!

Scariest 4th I ever experienced was in L.A. on the beach to watch the sunset, totally unaware that we would soon be in the middle of massive amateur fireworks. <br />The quietest was the year I was teaching in Jamaica. I did see a few rockets on the 4th. A friend said they were from the U.S. embassy. "Those fools always do that . . . " I think he nailed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
