I think we're gonna have a bunch because dark is hours away and the test-firing has already begun

Our old dog is almost deaf.

One of the dogs that I have taken care of for 5 years, since she was around 6 months old, died of cancer this summer. She had a friend that she often played with, Glory, who also shared a birthday with her. We hadn't seen Glory or her owner for a while. One day I was at the dog park and Glory's owner comes in, with a new dog. He told me that on July 5th, the day after Glory's 4th birthday, they found her deceased in her bed in the morning. They knew she was bothered by fireworks and they think she had a heart attack from them.
), so went to bed the normal time. Never cared much for New Year's Eve. Got woken up at 12:03 when the neighbors were setting off fireworks. There were no aerial ones but they freaked out my dog and she barked for about 40 minutes straight. Must have worn her out--she slept in this morning.
The only fireworks, bombs, and skyrockets came from the apartments about 3-4 blocks due south on my house. These are government subsidized houses, where Uncle Sam pays their housing bills, they get a $250 a week government checks, and all the free food they can enjoy, along with free internet and phones. Yep, they were having one hell of a party, on the Government Tit.Many people have heard me chirp about using the July 4th and newyear's fireworks to measure the state of the local economy because it is an excellent gauge of how much money people have to 'burn'.
Over 2 hours and still going, lots of 'big' ones too!
The state of our local economy = "Very strong"
Edit: Boy, and at midnight all hell broke loose, you could swear I was in the Gaza Strip!
...Even tonight, lots of loud booms in the distance, from all of the people that had to work last nightFireworks:

All of the people....in all of the neighborhoods....all around me? ... I'd say that's a no.
