People started firing them off around here in late May.
I think that we’re not legally allowed to start lighting them until the 3rd of July. That didn’t stop people from starting a little early. It’s harder to get away with it in the suburbs of the city, so people don’t push it too hard. When I lived in hick-ass village as a child people would start lighting fireworks over a month in advance. I thought it was fun then, now they just give me a heart attack.
