With Liz and Nammu. I haven't been to a professional fireworks show in almost 12 years. Way too jaded and cynical to "go through the motions" for any holiday now, as I hate holidays. And last thing I want to do is celebrate this country which is in the toilet.
It's true animals suffer a lot and a friend of mine comforts kitty till the noise stops (which can go on for hours). New Year's Eve is even worse, he'll be up most of the night then.
Because of everything going on in the world, I startle more easily now. (I even had to politely ask my next door neighbor not to let the wind SLAM the door as it makes me jump, literally! Thankfully he cooperated.)
I dread tomorrow night as I know it will be noisy. The firecrackers often last longer than just a few minutes. I'll have to purposely go to bed later since I know I won't be able to sleep at my usual time, around 9. Earplugs don't block them completely cause they are so loud. They started setting them off on Friday, although sporadically. They will increase tomorrow.
Nammu has a point about the climate too. In this hot, dry climate I'm in, the last thing we need is fireworks/crackers near dry brush.
They also fire guns into the air here, although it's more common on NYE. (Like we need more bullets flying around! Idiots!!!!!  ) Overall I dread tomorrow like I do every year, and I'll be relieved when it's over. Just a lot of noise. Like Liz and Nammu said, if it was just ONE night it'd be more tolerable....for humans and animals alike who are not fond of them.
Aurelius is right in that if you've seen one show, you've seen them all. Sensory overload is right, especially at night when it's hard enough for me to unwind and get to sleep.
