RE: Smoke gets in my eyes

Sorry, I've only been catching bits here and there, not much time right
now. Thought you meant they were using fireworks all the time. I can't
really object when they are used at legal times, but when it is illegal,
and i get tired enough of it, I will call the police. They are legal
here from June 30- July 9 from 5pm to about 11pm and July 4, Mem Day &
Labor Day from 10 am to midnight. Frankly I think that's plenty.
Besides, more than that, I think would be overkill, lose their
specialness, don't you?
