re: #8 A Mom Anon

I’m going to make some calls this week about this shit. I first have to find out if it’s a county or state level law that allows this. You would think at the very least it would be a fire safety issue. I was just astonished that this went on for five fucking hours. Non stop and everywhere. I can’t even get how this was enjoyable for anyone. When I say the whole area, I mean for a few miles. My son went to get gas 4 miles from the house and he said it was the same cloud of burning crap. That’s some bullshit.

Around here, different towns have different rules. I think the county permits fireworks but most town don’t. I heard fireworks in the distance, probably from people who don’t live in an incorporated town. My apartment complex issues a notice every 4th reminding people that fireworks are illegal and to call the police if there are any violations.

Several years ago I lived in Utah. Pioneer Days was toward the end of June (the 24th, IIRC), and fireworks were a nightly occurrence for about 3 weeks, from Pioneer Days until they used up all the fireworks in the days following July 4th. One of the many reasons I’m glad I don’t live there anymore.
