Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It mostly dies off after 11, but if history is a guide there'll be an a#$%(*% shooting off rounds after midnight.

100% agree. The ones that shake the house and set off car alarms are the worst. Plus, I feel bad for the animals and anyone with PTSD.

Yeah. Rango is largely oblivious, but Dory, the little dog, gets upset.

I believe that picture was taken at the top of a particularly steep climb. There was some walking involved.

No. He went an hid in the house. That was odd. He lived outside for a long time so he’s usually not phased by loud noises. My departed boy was. He really hated when a school bus would pass the house while he was in the window.

My kitty did ok. Some of the louder explosions scared him and he was concerned but didn't panic. Haven't heard the peacock yet. Last 4th he disappeared for several weeks. I don't know if he went into the hills but he eventually came back.

"Bombs" started going off yesterday afternoon, last night, new neighbor set off stuff that actually shook the house. (So pissed!!). Male cat who's already on drugs for urinary/stress, quit peeing yesterday. Going to the Vet this morning.

Didn't help that my two dogs barked at every pop, no matter how distant.

We had a dog, Kyoko, American Eskimo miniature. Usually fearless. Used to serve as Enforcer for our Golden whenever other dogs visited. HATED fireworks. One 4th, we couldn't find her, and worried she'd escaped - Eskies are roamers. Found the poor thing hiding under the bed.
