Yes, the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic is currently blaring from my neighbor’s back yard and somewhere nearby another group of people are hooting and hollering while detonating fireworks powerful enough to mess with car alarms.

I don’t live in a neighborhood where the houses are right on top of each other, but they’re certainly close enough that you’d think some knucklehead wouldn’t be lighting the whole street up with something in his yard. I don’t wish any harm on the hooligans blowing things up, but I can’t see anything good coming from whatever they’re messing with. At least my homeowner’s insurance is up to date.

Yeah, yeah, I’m old. Be safe if you’re one of the morons out there lighting off fireworks.
