Thanks, RagingVortex. Happy 4th to you too!

I usually don't go out for holidays like this (I'm a little nervous about people drinking and being out, and hate crowds, so am happy to stay home.) With the crazy increase in virus cases by me, I'm surprised anyone is going out.

But, apparently my neighbor is out celebrating. I know, because her dogs are barking, howling, and squealing like the world is ending, and the fireworks haven't even started yet. (And her car is gone. But I only checked b/c the dogs were so loud that I couldn't continue sitting in my living room.)

I am feeling a huge amount of irritation towards this neighbor. But I don't mean to ruin your thread with my misery!

Are you doing anything to celebrate?
