Starting the year with a bang. Then 11 more.
I woke up on the wrong side of the year.
What it with being 12 minutes past midnight, and the third Battle of Manassas taking place on Pocomoke Court.
It seems our dear sweet neighbors aren't your average 'county regulation readers', as the law clearly states:
After the 6th Football Stadium-appropriate cannonade and accompanying aerial explosion, I was on the phone trying to call the cops in one hand, soothing a screaming daughter in the other. The police never answered, which didn't matter since the idiots ran out of artillery fodder (I heard someone else down the street yelling at them, too), but it was another hour before Ainsley could get Erin back to sleep (despite my two successful attempts, lasting all of the distance from her door to ours).
I've never been so upset with another human being in my life. Not helped by the fact that I haven't slept particularly well (relatively speaking) in three days. Dogs got me up at 7, so I just let them out and sat in my 'stew pot' as my wife lovingly, but this time appropriately, calls my hot tub.

Any fireworks that explode, rise into the air, travel laterally or fire projectiles into the air are not allowed.
Violations can lead to fines of up to $2,500 and or 12 months in prison.

Your lucky not to live in our neighborhood. There was an hour of explosives last night. My kids enjoyed it though. Happy New year!
