I spent the entire day and night at home, mostly holding my pup. By 10pm we were in bed and I was singing to her to calm her. The sound of street fireworks are equally upsetting to me but she feels the vibration even from those far away. Poor thing. Ive hated the smoke and pollution from fireworks since the early 90s but of course, anytime that I have shared that with friends, I am looked at strangely. I’m an outsider (again) too serious, so dramatic. It’s odd to me how much we associate fireworks with patriotism, and how easily we can overlook damage to the environment just for a few minutes of fun.
I'm not sure it's even a few minutes of fun! It's not like fireworks are enshrined in the Constitution...but if they were, maybe we'd get some action to ban them:-) .
The booms didn't bother my cat and my last two dogs were unbothered for some reason...

Oh and thank you for the inclusion from Jefferson’s letter.
You are welcome, Jan!
