Feels like I'm in Baghdad circa '91.

You know that whistling noise fireworks make as they rise in the air? At one point, I could hear that for more than a minute straight. And I don't mean one whistle after another. There was so much being launched, it was all blending into one long whistle.

There are no professional fireworks happening around here but it looks like every other house bought professional grade shells.

It really is like a warzone.

The worst part about July 4th for me is the week before and after it, where everyone near me sets off fireworks every single night because the one night wasn't enough.

If I'd known I had a Top 4 ranking to uphold, I would have! I submitted a bracket, but I haven't played many new games the past 10 years, so I felt a little unqualified.

Im in Florida and they actually increased the number of celebrations in my city in hopes of spreading people out. Even when theres a celebration, lots of people around the city buy and set off a ton of fireworks every year.

Only thing different here is that there are significantly less cars on the streets because no one seems to be having any big parties here.

But still the same amount of fireworks.

It's been way more fireworks here than normal. Like it's been a constant thing for the past 2 hours, just non-stop bang bang bang.

Oh but now that I've typed this, there's actually a lull happening. Nope, more bangs.

Fireworks have been ridiculous this year in general, but tonight I seriously felt like my neighborhood was being shelled by an invading army.

See I love this. Its a symbol of people telling overblown government to fuck itself.

Or you know, people staying home lighting fireworks.

My neighborhood is more small family units than normal, so that means whoever they would have normally invited over is having their fireworks elsewhere.

This is actually a product of people being more spread out than usual than anything.

So don't try to frame this as some dumb anti-government statement.

LA county banned large fireworks displays that would typically draw large gatherings.

Hm. Well, I guess there is some question left still as to what actually defines "large fireworks displays that would typically draw large gatherings"

at the very least there seems to have a been a clear memo about the exact time to begin the "officially not large" fireworks display

Nah. I stopped caring about politics ages ago, because its divide and conquer nonsense by people who fully get along once the cameras are off. I just follow the truth wherever it leads.

Theres just something inherently American about not listening to idiots in power. Did you know the governor of Cali ordered all wineries closed, but kept his open? Anyone who saw that and still listens to the guy is just asking to be taken advantage of.

Well I think you followed the wrong "truth" here considering he didn't do that. Napa didn't have to shut back down because they weren't on the list of 19 counties that were tracking poorly. There's a fuckton of wineries in Napa.

You really need to stop being so literally obsessed with California dude. You're not even anywhere near here.
