2014, Day 170 - Kaboom

I like and dislike fireworks.  Yes, they are pretty but the are noisy and smoky.  The dogs hate them and so many people lose pets on these occasions.  Not to mention that we have veterans who find the concussions of fireworks distressing as well.  So while they're pretty the cost is high.
