4th of July starts early

A neighbor in the street behind us became the first ninny to fire off fireworks this 4th of July season. There’s always one. In past years, a clown at some nearby apartments made his presence known by igniting a cherry bomb every night at 10 o’clock, from weeks before and after the 4th of July. Last evening, the neighbor from the opposite direction shot off fire crackers for about a half hour. The neighbor ended his noisy display by shootinig off a bottle rocket. I enjoy fireworks. Mrs. O and I watch the chamber fireworks from City Beach on the Fourth of July. We enjoy the neighborhood fireworks while riding to and from the community fireworks show. But I don’t have much use for the clowns who shoot them off before and after the Fourth of July. How about you?

Question: Do you enjoy fireworks that are ignited before or after the Fourth of July?
