Unlike many Americans, i'm not particularly fond of the 4th of July outside of a day off from work with pay.
I do not cope very well with loud sudden noises. Period. I'm okay with things like Thunderstorms as there is a warning if you watch for it that says "big boom coming".
But fireworks, fire crackers and assorted incendiary thingies that make lots of noice... unless I am actively going to the fireworks show... I hate.
The jerks in the complex I live in have been firing the crap off for the last 4 nights. Twice they have literally scared the piss out of Talia. (luckily she was on the floor and NOT on the garb fabric).
One more night. Then I can go back to ignoring the drunken rednecks next door. I can deal and ignore drunken assholes who get to loud in their partying. They are easier to call the cops on than trying to figure out what building the sonic booms are coming from.
