Fireworks Ban [Partly OT]
CatNipped wrote: "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote in message ... "Fireworks"???? Stop me if I'm wrong, but I thought this was the first of January, not July! Did I lose six months somewhere? Maybe it's just the south, but I thought they celebrated the new year all over by firing off fireworks! Not when I was growing up in Minnesota! (Although weather may have had something to do with it.) Except in predominantly Mexican neighborhoods, I've not encountered them during fifty-plus years in the L. A. area, either - and even there it's only a few stray firecrackers at midnight. |

Well they do it a lot around here (Bay Area) at New Year's, and it's considerably cooler, not to mention wetter, than it is in LA. Firecrackers are also very popular in Asian neighborhoods. My kitties don't mind them, but I have friends whose dogs get so freaked about it that their humans have to take them out of town for a few days. Though near 4th of July, it usually goes on for a month all together, for weeks before and after the actual holiday. Joyce |
