And only a small quantity at that.

What's more, not a single American flag being flown anywhere in the city, far as I could tell.

I just hate the 4th. I am always up all nite and my nerves just get so frazzled from the constant booming.

This year was a lot worse because of the whole Trump thing.

My GSD has been in complete catatonia since this afternoon because we live between two reservations. It happens every year.

My puppy is taking it better than I thought she would. The pops and booms don't seem to bother her that much, but those high-pitched hissing things scare her to death, as they do me. They are so obnoxious. On top of the man-made fireworks, we have Mother Nature pitching in with lightning and thunder. I'm hoping it will pour so the revellers will retire indoors. I feel sorry for the people who have to work tomorrow. Now I'm also hearing gunfire, which is dangerous.


On edit: It just started to hail!

find a way to piss away money.

I'm surprised, since we got home at about ten o'clock, I haven't heard any fireworks sounds, and we usually do.
