It was nuts! Yes there were tons of M80s, bottle rockets, the little packs of firecrackers we used to call "lady fingers." The worst part was they were shooting them off for a whole week. It wasn't just on the 4th. Parents can't control their kid any more, at least not the teenage boys.

I must be an old fogie because kids were lighting these things right out in the street in front of my house, and my dog went batshit crazy.
