Baghdad

There are so many explosions going on outside the house right now it is like I am in downtown Baghdad. I just wonder if there are any cops out there that go after people that light off the illegal fireworks. Half of my neighborhood would be ticketed. I just wonder who are these people that spend $200 on fireworks plus the gas to run up to Evanston and back. I just do not see how it is worth it. I spent almost $50 today and thought it was a waste. We did not even light all of ours. We will save them for the 24th of July. Lighting fireworks is like putting a $20 on the ground and burning it.
