Yeah, there seems to be injuries every year.

Professional shows are different. Noisy but safer. I'm talking about people setting them off around here or shooting guns up into the air. They do the latter more on NYE than the 4th.

I've heard fireworks as early as July 2nd, during the DAY. They can go past July 4th too, especially if it falls on a Friday or Saturday.

For many years I thought we were supposedly celebrating an upcoming New Year. But it's about surviving the OLD year. Still, I don't get the forced optimism because it's a new year. You don't know what that means or what it will bring. For me, it's just flipping the calendar. I've had horrible DECADE and since 2000 even started, it's been going down the tubes. That's over 20 years. Yet every year it's HAPPY New Year.

NYE = Excuse to drink and be a fool. All that screaming and yelling cause it's a new year. We don't do that for a new MONTH or even DAY.

Yep people get injured every year from fireworks and guns, I see news footage of injuries and houses burning down and I know that it didn’t have to happen. Yeah people launch fireworks way too early and way too long, it’s rather inconsiderate. I don’t get the forced optimism too, it’s rather cringy in my opinion since it’s just simply a new number year. Life continues just the same and people get disappointed and say the current year is the worst year they ever experienced, it’s just annoying and all a show and it’s definitely an excuse to drink and be obnoxious.
