They'll keep doing it until they deplete their fireworks stash.
Fireworks are hard to get here and expensive, so there were very few
home shows this year on the 4th. Interestingly, a few days later -
someone set quite of few of the big ones that boom rather than pop
just a few doors down, probably in the intersection. First time I've
ever heard them so close. When I hear them in the distance, they
sound like guns the size of cannons. Up close, they are just plain
loud.
