    if it’s once a year. If we did it every night…

    Around here (MidWest city), fireworks go off every night for a month before, and then a month after the fourth. And I don’t mean a small amount, either. More like some version of the Vietnam War. It’s nuts.

    Basically, most of summer is devoted to fireworks play, with the fourth being a deluxe version of the “fun.”
