Unfortunately, the neighbors in the apartment complex nearby are shooting off fireworks right now. It started shortly before it was officially New Year’s Eve 2023.
Was hoping that the massive amount of rain we had all day – rain that was hard enough to knock the door off the outdoor housing for our water heater – would have been enough to prevent the fireworks from happening.
But no.
Somehow, the fireworks these people are firing off into the sky were protected from the rain by ne’re-do-wells who cannot celebrate a holiday without blowing things up.
I should note that fireworks are illegal where I live, which means they are not supposed to possess them or shoot them off.
Fortunately, I’ve already started drinking, which will keep me calm enough to resist the strong urge to go outside and scream at these people who appear to have an explosion fetish.
