but most ordinances say only the day before, the day of and the day after the holiday. You think anyone is going to enforce that? Ever since it became law these idiots start weeks before and they'll continue weeks after. They even do it on Thanksgiving.

Mostly it's guys who like to see things go "boom" like they never grew up, and the cops just look the other way because they're mostly just like them. I say if they like to see/hear things go boom they should join the military.

I don't mind it as much as I used to when I still had my dog. She's been gone two years now and every 4th I remember how awful it was for her and for me. She would not settle down all night long.
