My experience has been, that the needier families in my neighborhood, either have a herd of dogs that they cannot afford or they piss away hundreds of dollars on fireworks every year, and sometimes BOTH. That's just nutty priorities. But then again, it's just my opinion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-76925028886197100552012-07-05T13:47:21.736-05:002012-07-05T13:47:21.736-05:00I'm probably better off financially than most ...I'm probably better off financially than most of the neighbors around here. However, I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, and I haven't spent a dime on fireworks since my kids got out of grade school. It's hard to believe how much the people around here must have spent on fireworks when most of them can't even afford to keep their cars running or their houses in good repair. Maybe some of them are dealing drugs, too. :)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-84952903984993905532012-07-05T13:21:25.039-05:002012-07-05T13:21:25.039-05:00My husband and I came home last night about 10:30p...My husband and I came home last night about 10:30pm and several neighbors were out still lighting fireworks. Several people were looking at the sky, watching a buring lantern float away. I was just commenting on how stupid I think those are, especially during the current weather circumstances when my husband noticed another lantern falling into a tree in the someone's backyard. My point was confirmed immediately how wreckless those things are. We never heard sirens down our street, so gladly the incident was resolved. But I am ready and waiting to support the city council to ban them as soon as can be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-23147672937855486242012-07-05T11:38:21.024-05:002012-07-05T11:38:21.024-05:00I live in what I had always thought was a poverty ...I live in what I had always thought was a poverty stricken section of Lincoln. I may have to change my thinking. During the past three days my "poverty stricken" neighbors set off at least $100,000.00 worth of fireworks.

I really wondered though, how fast I could deflate one of those giant, inflated gorillas so many of the fireworks stands had this year.

At the Bennet corner a lit cracker went out the front window and in the back.One was killed, and I heard that the trunk lid was blow clear across the intersection. One of the survivors went on to become a 10-11 news team member and I believe, went into the ministry. Just a bit of history from an old lady,.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
