In response to Lencho's "boom factor" Q, I used to like 'em when a teen, but as a Vet not so much. When I relocated to San Lucas Cove there were a
couple of residents who were semi-pro pyro freaks, would show up with stuff smuggled down from the north (yes, they were licensed to shoot 'em off).
I explained to them I had a problem with it, and asked kindly and graciously would they please, please let me know in advance even if it was 5
minutes, so i'd be prepared for it. Of course, never happened once. The beer and marg's would flow, and BOOM would go the mortar. More than once I
was on the carpet.
My point being, if you have ANYONE near you at least have the decency to take a stroll, tell 'em your intentions of pyrotechnics, and they can get
their dog or their Vets (not the dog's vet) inside.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

After a Lifetime of Observation ................
It doesn't appear that an [Adult] enthusiasm for explosive Fireworks AND consideration for the feelings of neighbors resides in the
same psyche.
On the contrary, there seems to be an allied objective and enthusiasm for irritating the non-participants in the area.
Confirmed often enough by the disinclination to take those explosives a distance away when there were endless miles of deserted beach available.

Every once in awhile, I would see those on the beach in Percebu get their "just deserts", though (unfortunately) no fatalities.
The BEST I personally witnessed was an imbecile with a beer bottle in one hand setting off M-80s near his camping spot with his wife yelling and their
infant screaming its head off. After a number of them, he was leaning over and suddenly BOOM !
HE SCREAMED. He grabbed his arm and was running around in pain. THEY quickly threw everything into the back of their vehicle and roared off.
Presumably, to seek medical care in SF.
With a smile, I said to my wife "that DOES give you a warm feeling, doesn't it" ?
ONCE in awhile, people get what they deserve.

For some reason I can envision your wife getting a warm feeling when she cuts off your peker for all the miserable and boring years you put her
through. And she'll say you got what you deserved.

Don't apologize for liking fireworks and don't get how many dislike them. When Rancho Pescadero has a wedding, there will be fireworks on the
beach. The ground shakes and the night sky lights up. Bliss.
M-80s, barrel bombs, cherry bombs, make my own bombs. Louder the better. Sorry to neighbors and Vets out there. Dogs can be trained to
love fireworks. It's a celebration, people.
Let 'er RIP, JZ.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Living Down to Expectations
I am always encouraged whenever those whom I consider "lesser" beings demonstrate traits which confirm my characterizations.
So, obviously, I can't be bothered by negative expressions which reinforce said opinions.
The juvenile fixation with the explosive fireworks that display no artistics, but simply shake the windows and ground, is a mystery
to me, but I have noticed over the many years that those with that enthusiasm DO exhibit other characteristics consistent with a lack of maturity and
intellect.
Given that I don't expect to (often) come in contact with said fireworks in the future, they are no longer a concern of mine.
Except for the rare instance in which someone in the neighborhood sets one or more off. And, I call it in to Law Enforcement.
I DO enjoy reading of incidents like the one in TJ.
Schadenfreude is good.
I have to admit to a chuckle over the ignorant attempt by JZ to incite anger. One shouldn't feel anger towards those whom
he has no respect.
And, I don't.
Given that mi esposa DETESTS those fireworks with a passion that exceeds mine and has expressed the thought that
they should ALL die, she isn't likely to feel antipathy towards ME.
Besides, both of us having had the misfortune of earlier marriages, appreciate how lucky we are to have found each other.
Something which she has continually said to friends and acquaintances.
The feeling is mutual.
As is our opinion of Rude Juvenile Behavior.

Great story. Here's mine.
Bought my first house (a repo) while single in my early 20's and had a couple extra bedrooms. My best friend had finished college and taken a job
close by so was staying with me. One day we started having a firecracker war where we were running around the yard and tossing firecrackers at each
other. He decided to take a shortcut through the house and surprise me in the front yard. Just as he lit a string of firecrackers and opened the front
door, I pulled the door shut and held it closed. He panicked and immediately started yelling for me to open the door so he could get rid of the lit
firecrackers. Nope, I held the door closed and listened to that string go off in the living room. 40+ years later we still laugh about it.
