Eventually, but that time hasn't come yet. There seems to have been an unspoken consensus in the region that no fireworks laws would be enforced. Lucky we had a good rain a week or so ago, it helped with grass fires. From dusk until many hours later it sounded like a reenactment of a battle scene from the Civil War. Canons, pistols, and the occasional Gatling gun discharge of strings of firecrackers.

I fear they have simply stopped to sleep and eat, and will resume the assault at dusk today. MOM liked the sparklers at the house, but said the boys had better watch those explosives down by The Legion Hovel or the thing will go up like an exploded ammo bunker.
