I have one fireworks complaint…
…they started too early – it wasn’t dark yet when the fireworks began and I missed half the show walking to the square
They started early because radar showed the possibility of rain moving in and they wanted to finish before that if it happened, and actually they were only about 10 or 15 minutes early.
Yes, my weather app was predicting lightning by 10 PM and I was afraid that the fireworks would be cancelled at the last moment.
I was giddy that the fireworks started at that time. Two little kids aren’t fun after 10pm. Worked out great.
One of my closest friends sat for over one year on the Special Purpose Grand Jury that Ellis lied to. He likely thinks that he got off easy with 18 months. At least this should mean that he has officially lost his CEO position. That is, until he serves his time, runs again, and we re-elect his criminal dumb @ss one more time.
