The night I hate probably the most - except for the 4th of July.

Freaking Fireworks will be blasting everywhere tonight.

I have NEVER understood the attraction. To me, it's stupid and is the equivalent of setting cash dollars on fire. Serves no purpose whatsoever and should be banned in my opinion.

But, I live in redneck Bubba-land. Uneducated idiots are already talking about whose house is going to have the bigger show. And the irony? Most of them (seriously) live in the trailer park about three miles down the road and would probably be the least likely who should be spending money on fireworks. But, hey, you can't argue with stupid.

I hate all this stupid bs, too, Jill. They could feed & house a lot of needy animals with all the money they choose to literally set fire to.

I'm outside of San Antonio and the police chief has been doing public service announcements about people doing that in the city. He keeps saying "the bullets have to fall SOMEWHERE".

It's amazing that some idiots have enough sense to cross the street.
