Unfortunately this is the year they finally banned fireworks in unincorporated King County, which is a shame. Because some of my redneck neighbors put on one pisser of a fireworks show. We're talking like 5-6 trashbags full of spent mortars when all was said and done, at least. God help anyone who was trying to drive down the road while it was happening; it was like hockey in Wayne's World. "Car . . . game on!" People riding skateboards back and forth to set off like 2-3 different sets of fireworks along about a 200-yard front. Utterly glorious and ridiculous.

That’s my neighborhood, except instead of skateboards, it’s each homeowner individually setting off their stuff, and instead of a show front, it’s all around us, in every direction. “The show” runs for about 5 nights, ramping up through the 4th. By the 5th, it’s pretty much over, and we aren’t legally allowed to light off after that.

God help anyone who has noise-sensitive PTSD around here this week…
