And I'm sitting in my study in Kempner TX listening to the pops of firecrackers being set off by idiots about half a mile away...

Someone needs to bust some heads over that- pronto! Have you called the sherrif's office?

I haven't called the cops. We're rural and I can't tell exactly where they're coming from. I don't even know if what they're doing is illegal or just stupid. There were quite a few going off last night and nobody seemed to mind. (There haven't been anymore "pops" in the last 20 minutes. Maybe somebody already jacked 'em up... or they simply ran out of firecrackers.)
