Another fourth of July has passed by, thank goodness.  However, around here that only means we have several more months of illegal fireworks to drive us crazy.  The poor Curmudgeon was kept up well past his bed time and will be a cranky curmudgeon come daylight.  Some persistent idiot is still setting off loud aerials after 1 a.m.

     This someone thinks his/her Chinese water torture of setting off a loud aerial bang every so often all night is hilarious.  I do not.  I have a splitting headache and would like to take one of those loud aerials, stick it up the ass of whomever it is setting them off every freaking night for a month, and light the damned thing.

     Why can’t people come up with a better way to celebrate without the use of fireworks?  I hear of pets completely freaking out from the noise and staying traumatized for months.  ERs brimming with ‘idiot accidents’ of burns and blown off body parts to where they look like a war zone, and this is a ‘fun’ way to celebrate?

     I have always found the use of fireworks by non-professionals the dumbest thing ever.  Proof to me of how dangerous they are, was the 4th of July where The Curmudgeon’s father almost removed three fingers of his right hand with an M8O.  Yep, his was an ‘idiot accident.’  He did lose the tip of his middle finger and a good amount of flesh from the other two.  That, of course,  makes flipping the bird less provocative.

     You all have a good one.
