The firecrackers started going off in the street this afternoon. Before sunset there were a few impatiently set bottle rockets and one large mortar. The shrieks and whistles have escalated along with the distinct bass drum boom of mortars launching larger fireworks to greater heights. This will go on until at least midnight. Tomorrow morning we’ll see the detritus all over our neighborhood streets.
as we old folk were getting ready for bed, a downpour started, and all the shrieks and booms came to a halt. How nice. I was able to go to sleep. Of course, the leftover shrieks and booms will happen tonight.
