Happy 4th of July...now go blow off some fingers!

I really dislike the way my idiot neighbors celebrate the 4th of July. They must spend a fortune on fireworks that they light off till nearly 2 AM! It drives me absolutely crazy. I know it is bad karma or whatever to wish bad things upon somebody, but if just one of them blew off a finger or something maybe they would stop. My backyard is turning a nice shade of brown from the ridiculously high heat and lack of rain...I'm sure one of their fireworks will land in the yard and start it all up! That would be fun. Then they leave all of their used fireworks in the street, always a nice look. And I guarantee that on Saturday I'll walk through the backyard and pick up a handful of red sticks that used to belong to fireworks. I hate it I tell you! I sound like a grumpy old man, shaking my fist at those darn punk teenagers. But I really despise it. Why can't they go watch fireworks at any of the various city displays, you know the ones that spend thousands and thousands of our tax dollars on? They are going to be a million times better, and it won't keep me up all night! I'll report back on Saturday, but I'm sure it will be the same as it has been for the last 2 years....and considering they have already started shooting them off over the past few nights, I'm sure it is going to be just awesome.
