My conclusion is that I should fund the neighbors each year. They have the best fireworks and it only requires my porch and comfy chair.
Of course, last night I had to move indoors for the fun as a lovely squall came up, pushing leaves into my entry and kitchen. But they really do have beautiful displays! And they so kindly take turns with their ignitions as they battle across the street.
My only request would be that they cut the fun off at midnight and not take it into July 5th. Perhaps they would decline my generosity then? They do seem to go into the early morning hours each year.
It may be a “nap required” day.
