Cooler Temperatures - Bigger Idiots!

Ah.....finally a nice cool evening. It's been so hot here and so many days have passed without once wanting to open up the house and let it air out. So tonight it's cooler outside than it is inside....what a wonderful night to air the house out. EXCEPT.....several idiots in our neighborhood have chosen to have their fireworks fun tonight! Yeah, I went in and re-read the ordinance. It states sales can start today.....but firing of fireworks is from July 1 through July 4, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
In past years I did write to each of the city commissioners regarding my feelings about fireworks. Big fat zero! Today we drove past a fireworks stand that is ran by the Hutchinson Fire Department!!!! Hellooooo!
Last year after the fourth of July, our lawns and streets were littered with trash. Even my swimming pool was full of scraps of paper and ashes.
I don't understand how once something has been established for years and years, it is suddenly decided to reinstate the sale and firing of fireworks.
It also seems to me that quite often the person who'll blow many dollars for something to burn up (be it fireworks or tobacco products), is also usually the one who needs "financial assistance" at some point.
Bottom Line: I hate fireworks! 99% of the people who shoot them off don't even know what they're celebrating...other than that they get to shoot off fireworks!! Duh....maybe it's NOT fireworks I hate...maybe it's the stupid people who entertain themselves with them. Don't even bother leaving a comment if this upsets you....this is MY blog and MY opinion!!! BANG!!!!!
