On this 4th of July weekend, a plea to amateur fireworks enthusiasts

Please do at least consider, restricting setting off your loud fireworks to a reasonable timeframe. Not 2 or 3 days before or after THE day, for instance, or at all hours. Your loud booms terrorize both wild and domesticated animals, including, of course, those that people often refer to as "pets".

Thank you. The end. 😬
