July 5th


Last night the neighborhood where I live discharged enough explosive to launch a small rocket into orbit over the period of about 5 hours. I heard the last boom at about 1:30 AM. Our front yard has become a firework graveyard of cardboard shrapnel and blackened tissue paper. Among the litter are strewn the corpses of hundreds of spent bottle-rockets, firecrackers, snakes, helicopters, and other explosively shattered shapes.
