New version of Toledo Talk

Fireworks - One of my favorite holidays is Independence Day. The best part is the fireworks at our local highschool. Swanton does a great job each year and draws in a very large crowd. My family does'nt get to bed on firework night till well after midnight.
I must ask our friendly neighbors, however, to limit the home fireworks to the weekend of the 4th. While we all like playing with them some of us have jobs that require us to get up before dawn, and not just Monday through Friday. There is nothing more frightening as an extremely loud BOOM a few doors down just as I'm drifting. It takes another hour for me to sleep after your last light up. Please, Please Please. Put them up till next year.
I hear them all over Town. My family in Toledo hears them too in their neighborhoods so I know it's happening everywhere. Theyre illegal and there is a reason for that. They are dangerous and they are disturbing to the peace.
Thank you so much in advance.

I miss those Fourth of July's in Swanton...it was the same way though where we lived last though usually starting about now with the cherry bombs and such and the dogs would freak out. So far at the new place? It's been quiet.

I always found it ironic that it is legal to sell fireworks in Ohio but not legal to use most of the ones sold here.

It's the same as tobacco, Psyche. You can buy it anywhere, just can't use it anywhere. The government makes out both ways. Money on sales, money on tckets/citations/court system. And we're heading that way with a lot more stuff, unfortunately.
