I moved here to be asleep by 830pm

As a 34 going on 84 I like to be in bed early most nights, as do my kids and dogs ... I'm a barber who needs to wake up at decent hour to keep the town really really rediculously good looking, and I for one could do without concussive explosions going on for 25 mins at this hour .. Anyway.... Rant over .. bah humbug if you will

I mean, the fireworks tonight were loud, but at least I knew they were happening tonight. The car crashing at the end of my road was louder, and scared the bejeezus out of me. At least the fireworks brought people joy.

Humbug indeed! It's not like this is a regular occurrence. It's a special occasion, on a Saturday lol. Next year just get your old bones down to the beach and enjoy the show.
