Fireworks

We live just outside the city limits. This is significant because fireworks are illegal in the city, but not outside it. Long before and after the Fourth of July we hear fireworks at all hours. Every year they get more and bigger. People who are sane the rest of the year can become very inconsiderate, and often unsafe, this time of year. I want to tell them: Please, when shooting off fireworks, be safe, and be considerate. Also pick up your debris. Celebrating our nation's independence should not be an excuse for bad behavior.
