We were under attack! The whole 'Bombs Bursting in Air' thing from the 'Star Spangle Banner' song was playing out in full-force last night. The M80's (tiny little bombs) exploded and filled the night sky for miles - from late evening to early morning. 

As I layed in bed trying very hard to drift off to sleep early (at 9 pm) so I could get up early, I worried about my cat's nerves but had to close my bedroom door so she wouldn't keep jumping out of my window after being frightened by the firework noise. This year was the first one that I didn't even bother turning my lights out and opening my blinds to see the large fireworks in the night sky. I lost interest when someone kept setting off M80's near our building the day before the 4th. 

Don't think that I was so nervous and jumpy every time a M80 went off, I didn't jump at all. My problem was that because I am a light sleeper, I was afraid that I'd dream that we were being bombed. Kim Jong Un's recent shenanigans (he test fired an intercontinental long-range missile) -   played a big part in my concern about dreaming of being bombed - despite the fact that N. Korea's missiles can't reach this far in the midwest. You know how dreams are though, they are, many times, irrationally scary.

Also, besides wondering about my cat and all the other poor frightened pets out there in our community, I more so thought about all the war veterans and Syrian and other refugees and how the affect all of fireworks was having on them. I'm guessing they all had a pretty rough night.

Lastly,  many of those fireworks going off were gunshots considering 100 people were shot. What a most opportune time to shoot someone than on the 4th of July - People would think they were hearing fireworks. 

Some gunshot victims were shot by people celebrating the 4th by shooting guns in the air. I guess they never heard the saying, "What goes up, must come down!"
