I Feel Great! Solved A Big Problem In My Life So Simply!!

Rather than fight a war about Penney versus the Geeks, I just walked into bathroom, took a band-aid, cut it to size aad covered the bottom right of my computer screen!!!!!!

Over the past several nights, people in the area have been testing out their fourth of July fireworks, including firecrackers, cherry bombs and M-80’s.  They begin in the afternoon and continue throughout the evening, making this crazy mutt go more and more insane.

Oh, and did I fail to mention what happens when the big fireworks show kicks off at around 9:30 or so?  Bedlam!

When things finally wind down sometime after 11, he settles down… and then the neighborhood dudes with firecrackers resume their assault on the night…
