    The professional fireworks shows for July 4 have been cancelled.

    SO...

    Guess what, idiots have been buying up home fireworks and setting them off like crazy, well in advance, keeping others awake all hours, terrifying pets, and of course causing all sorts of injuries, fires, etc..

    Heartfelt condolences to you as we feel your pain. Our neibors live in an enourmous home and set off fireworks on a regular basis. They have many celebrations and fireworks are a must, birthdays, weekends, grampas bowel movement, laundry day, Ramadan, the first ripe cherry, full moon....... you get the picture. They are into fireworks in a big way, I don't even know if they're legal?

    It always seemed to me that fireworks were strictly for professional use. Spectacular shows put on for July 4 and Memorial Day and such, but that was it.

    But some time in the not-too-distant past they've been made legal for anyone to buy and use. Never mind injuries, destruction, terrorization of innocent victims of all species.. there's money to be made!

    Sickening.

    It varies state by state. Where do you live?

    Surrey, B.C., Canada. I don't know if it's legal but it must be. I never call the cops, they would do zero.
