Look, move to the country if you want to set off fireworks at all hours for 2-3 weeks around the 4th. This is a residential neighborhood with hundreds of homes.....lots of dogs, infants, toddlers, etc. Small fireworks are no problem, but trying to make believe that you are some pyrotechnic expert seems a tad ridiculous.
I hear they have a great show at UCO each year, so there really is no need to set our houses on fire, scare the pants off of our sleeping children and babies, and anger our dogs. Really, it is called common courtesy.
