So you hear a firework pop off at 10:20 pm. It isn't the rest of the world's problem that you go to bed on Grandma's schedule. I would empathize if it were in the wee hours of the morning but seriously...
Dude, had one go off like 2 blocks from me on the 16th at around 11pm while a friend and I were watching a movie. She looks at me and says "guess someone got too drunkey on the 4th and forgot to light off the entire stash". Yep, probably (Incidentally, fireworks really do not sound like gunfire Anon, so I don't think your rather sadistic wish was granted)
You know what, it's two weeks after the 4th, even Hanukkah doesn't last that long. It's a weeknight. You're unnecessarily freaking out my dog. Put the fireworks away.
@Cat, something tells me the impulse-control disorder brought on by fetal-alcohol syndrome or a year of meth would argue that these displays of sociopathic self-centeredness are *necessary*, even compulsive. Oh wait.
We don't all work as bartenders and waitstaff. Some of us have jobs that start in the morning.
"'murica's number one -- yeah!! -- boom!! -- go 'murica!!"
oh never mind.
