Sometimes I’m not sure what people are thinking…or if they are at all. Someone has been outside shooting off fireworks this evening. It’s been really dry around here for the last six weeks or so and one little spark could cause quite the fire. And, of course, it’s not even legal to be shooting fireworks here in town anyhow.
Having said all of that, I’ll now tell you the real reason it makes me mad. I hate it when people shoot off fireworks close to where I live because my poor little kitties get very nervous. Right now, the kitten is huddled under the desk on my feet. And Spook has been pacing back and forth growling. Poor upset little babies!
So come on, people. Can you possibly limit your fireworks activity to right around the 4th of July? Okay, I’ll even throw in New Year’s Eve. But unless you live out of town and there’s no danger of starting a fire, that’s it.

Do you suppose people set off fireworks to get attention? Disturb others? I never can figure it out!
I don’t know, Carol….I think it’s supposed to be kind of celebratory…but it’s pretty annoying to have it happening throughout the year.
We hear them every so often. Thankfully, I don’t have a pet to be concerned with.
