I don't hate the fireworks, but I do hate the crazy and irresponsible people using them. Last night it was rocket after rocket... big booms late into the night... me and my wife trying to keep our 8 month old calm. My 3yo loved it. So that was cool. The explosions were to close to my roof for comfort though. One actually failed to launch and blew up on the street. Thank goodness there were cars parked along the street and our cars were on the driveway. Someone was probably pissed this morning with burns on the side of his car.
