Boom

Someone in the neighborhood got himself a bunch of firecrackers on strings and other fireworks. Nt sure where he is, since I can't see anything, but I can hear them. And so can the cat, who is freaked out by them and keeps creeping around, fluffed up. And the she comes and sits on the bench serving as my coffee table, and stretches waaaaay up to peer over the loveseat out the window nervously.

As I haven't heard them in a while, I expect that someone's probably called the cops, as fireworks aren't allowed in the city limits. The cat is sitting next to me, pretending she's not jumping at every little noise now.

Aw. Poor kitty.

our dog HATED the Fourth when he was alive. Spent all night holed up in my parents' room, poor darling.

She's calmed down now, and fell asleep. XD

We've had firecackers crackling away, on and off, for hours, but the big guns from the official town show up at the middle school have finished. The buns were mildly nervous, but they probably thought it was thunder.

It's been pretty quiet here. The big city show over at the marina is well past done, and there wasn't much noise beforehand.

(Makes a nice change from last year, when someone a few streets over decided to put on a private show that came second only to the city fireworks.)

My parents' cats HATE fireworks as well.

Fireworks are legal in Georgia now, but even when they were technically illegal people still did them. The police would even come around but never did anything about the fireworks (more like they were just doing rounds and checking up on things).

We have an idiot living somewhere nearby who lets off fireworks at every opportunity; Bonfire Night, Christmas, New Year and some time in the late summer that must be a birthday. He (somehow I'm sure it's a he) must not be American though, since there was nothing last night!
