    I haven’t heard too many fireworks go off in my neck of the woods these past few weeks. Even now on July 3rd there’s hardly anyone blowing any up compared to last year’s cacophony at the same time. People are either being environmentally conscious, too poor, or too ashamed of the US this year to light fireworks. Tomorrow’s gonna be the real way to know for sure though. My town’s hosting an event so I’m gonna poke my head out to see how the crowds are like to get a better feel.

      The fines are crazy now and the police keep reminding people they have a bunch of drones to track fireworks. They also said if any kids set off fireworks the parents will get fined.

        But shoot up a school and the parents don’t get fined. Wrong priorities. Let them burn.
