I guess one of the benefits of living in a, well, "less developed" (that's one way of saying 'sketchy') part of the city is that fireworks are more prevelant. Way more. Especially in a state that has basically outlawed all non-wussy fireworks. I guess the drive to Vancouver or to the various reservations is easy. So it's been booming around here all day. Literally. Now that it's dark, there are big flashes over the roofline. In a way, I get a sense of what it must be like to live in a place like Tikrit...only, you know, without the actual fear of dying.
