Hee hee Dave!
It's pitch dark here (5pm) and not a bang (or a whimper) so far. If anything starts, I'll have to be on oil tank duty most of the evening, because husband is school-cleaning until 9pm (He's always on 'security duty' too, and has to lock up the entire campus)
I so hate it when I hear all the dogs screaming in fright. Some neighbours put on our Village Facebook some recommended 'medication' which calms dogs down. Perhaps I should take some too?
I honestly think no fireworks should be available to the general public and no private setting-off allowed. It should be restricted to public displays on registered venues, with the appropriate fire-security measures in place.
Horrible old Grinch aren't I?
