It's absolutely ridiculous. Thirty days a year are legal for fireworks.

We have a lot of foreigners here who think this is their right now that they live in America. If they think this noise is so great, why did they leave Iraq?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-75659595400387731152015-07-05T11:35:03.557-04:002015-07-05T11:35:03.557-04:00I am pissed about it as you know but I never suffe...I am pissed about it as you know but I never suffered what you went through in the hospital. I do understand even if I don't know what it feels like. My mom would be very upset because she lived through bombings and I feel she had PTSD. What you go through is ridiculous. I wonder if you can get other neighbours and people together and march up to City Hall and get yourself noticed on TV. I am someone that I would not want to have to leave my own home because these idiots think it swell to pop these things off at 2am. If they do this at 2 am I doubt they will listen to reason.

Wish your neighbors were people you could go and simply talk to and explain your discomfort and get some kind of an understanding worked out. <br /><a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a>Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-72093483316071096502015-07-05T09:16:47.792-04:002015-07-05T09:16:47.792-04:00BTW, you are right about the police.

I told him to tell the officer to 'look up' as you could see the fireworks in the sky. DUH. And then someone set off a mortar at 3:00 am that woke me up and shook the entire house.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-4116082704549233692015-07-05T09:13:46.666-04:002015-07-05T09:13:46.666-04:00I had considered going away this year.

Despite what everyone thinks about Texas being the wild west, they do not allow fireworks in the city limits or within 5000 ft of the city limits.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-4904033560057573992015-07-05T09:08:17.887-04:002015-07-05T09:08:17.887-04:00I really don't think you calling the police is...I really don't think you calling the police is doing anything at all by the sound of it. Whatever the local laws are. Maybe you should arrange to be away on holidays. I do know what you mean and sympathise, but there is no point in getting yourself in such a stew. Does you no good and doesn't affect the fireworks people one bit.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.com
