My Thoughtful Neighbors Adore the 4th

My neighbors have been celebrating 4th of July for a week. It has finally arrived today. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. I think these patriots take time to nap between 11 and 2 every day. They have tossed cherry bombs into our dumpster. They have blown up our mailbox. What marvelous festivities for them! It gave us a chance to see how worthless our grayscale video is. We saw one flag decorated guy get out of his car to do these deeds. But we could not identify the car or the guy. Unless he wore the same t-shirt And no one else had one. Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Our dogs and cat are hiding behind us in our recliners. Their ears hurt. I can only imagine how men and women servicemen are doing. Especially if they have PTSD. Does anyone ever consider them during these 4th of July celebrations? Apparently not.

I'm sorry to say it, but your neighbors are self-absorbed boors, thinking of no one but themselves. I hope they move and leave you in peace.

There is no limit as to how rude some people can be. It wasn’t enough that fireworks went off til near midnight but again at 2 am was ridiculous!
