Re: Re: water/fireworks NOW Town Ordinances

Zem darlin' - I am a fairly level-headed logical woman as you know. But
these people KNOW that ignoring me (or worse) patronizing me is
hazardous to one's ear drums. I will NOT tolerate it. They are very well
aware of the consequences.

And good for you - keep after them. Persistence pays off. I went off
when I heard some idiots dove hunting in town. That stopped. Believe it.
