the ground here is soggy and soaked from a week of rain that could easily start up any moment and yet people are still shooting off fireworks
Murder moogle
soggy soaked ground is the best condition for fireworks, tbh

sure beats what we've got going on here, where one stray firework could easily set off a wildfire.

yeahhhhhhh things have been incredibly dry here lately too

yeah see the thing though is that the ground is soaked from, like I said, a week of rain that can start up any moment. like, it was actively raining 30 min ago. but that ain't gonna stop the fireworks.

I'm honestly just like "Do you think the Americans have anything to celebrate this year?"
c_for_characters
I've had that question today and maaay be out of fucks enough to have said that 
c_for_characters
We're border Canadians, so we usually join in and make it one long holiday from the 1st, but there's a note of unease that I apparently added to.
Murder moogle
Americans will always accept a reason to set off small explosions.

they're illegal in MA and my neighborhood of Boston is especially fond of illegal fireworks

my mom was driving me home one night and somebody set one off on a street corner 10 feet from her car and scared her, and I was just calmly, "welcome to Dorchester."

I am not sorry to be in South Carolina tonight, one year the illegal fireworks went on till 3AM

damn do they not do fireworks where you're at in sc, everybody around here GOES to SC to get their fireworks

my grandmother lives in an over 55 community with a fairly strict HOA, so it's pretty quiet here

I'm curious what it's like in Mom's neighborhood (I'm down here helping Mom move), but her furniture doesn't arrive till tomorrow so we're sleeping at Grandma's.

oh well I'm glad people respect that then! I guess I'm surrounded by hooligans
