Fireworks

We've not even got to 4th July yet but the fireworks have already started being set off, beginning yesterday evening.  When it was still daylight.  Despite it being illegal.  Despite it being illegal in most areas of Western Washington now.  Despite loads of signs being put up saying that fireworks are illegal.  It's ridiculous.  It's disappointing.  But fireworks continue to be pretty easy to obtain (I think you just need to go to tribal land and one of the firework stands they have set up there).  And there is absolutely zero enforcement of firework bans - not helped by the terrible policing situation we have statewide and nationwide right now - so complaining about them is utterly pointless.  It's the animals I feel most sorry for, both domestic and in the wild, who have to put up with the noise and disruption.  I should probably just accept it, and go watch an official firework display somewhere.
