I had trouble getting Dominic into the car because of the fireworks as we headed out to your place. It was much worse a few hours later when we tried to get back into the house. He's not going to pee tonight, because he refuses to go through the door again. And Hope is in worse shape upstairs. I want brick siding on the house to help muffle the noise (and useful to block any stray bullets too).

Seriously, there is no 5-second gap in the noise. For the last hour, and it'll continue for a few more.
