Seeing the fireworks and being able to enjoy the visual aspect of them is
completely different then blowing off M80's for two hours straight and
watching a dog freak out to the point of throwing up every ten minutes.
Having an issue with that is not my definition of party pooper. I do however
agree with the need to get out of a fear based place and meeting our
neighbors, we defintely need more of that!!
