Yes, I was just drifting off to sleep last night about 11:45 when I got half an hour of sonic booms/fireworks (one sounding like it was coming from my living room under me :-) that thoroughly woke me. My husband then came up to bed and we both were tossing and turning until I finally got up, thoroughly awake and uncomfortable again, and went downstairs until around 5:00-5:30 a.m. at which time I went "back" to bed until getting up at 9:00. Three hours sleep just isn't cutting it today.

I'm very glad I'm not sick or elderly/have an infant/young child, etc.; people just don't think to be considerate. Fireworks are illegal in my county and I could see ignoring it if it's the 4th of July and 9:00 p.m. but who needs that kind of noise at Midnight, for that long. Good thing this particular kind of partying is only once a year.
