....and the disadvantage of living where we do is that we get to_hear_ every single firework that goes off within The Thames Basin. Amplified.

So, roll on New Year then! Oh, maybe you don't get so many then, we get more. Much, much more. They make a big thing of New Year up here. Or, should I say, Hogmannay.
Slange va!
(Or something like that, not actually sure of the spelling. Means good health, or something similar...)
In my state, we recently passed a new law allowing fireworks of many many sorts to be shot off from a person's private property any time until 11 p.m. except on special holidays (i.e. Independence Day, New Year's, perhaps others I haven't thought of...), when I suppose it is permissable to shoot them off forever. This is very very very very annoying as we live in a neighborhood with a lake, and I suppose people feel obligated... And 11 p.m. is very late when you're pregnant (which I was at 4th of July-time) and not sleeping so well (which I generally am all of the time). I am hoping the law will be revisited after one wretched year. And of course, around here, fireworks are not a "one night" event, but on and on and on...
