Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

TGIF

 

Friday is here, and the Fourth of July is history. It is good to celebrate the birth of our country. This year I was quite surprised that there were no disruptive fireworks anywhere near our house. This has to be a first.  Even though the possession of fireworks is against the law in our town, outsiders still have come in and littered the beach with burned out rockets. Maybe since we called the police as did several neighbors when last week some yahoo was setting off what sounded like dynamite they decided to patrol our area. Whatever happened it was a blessing. This brings us to today’s JohnKu. It talks about peace.

Compared to the noise,

That always disturbed our sleep . . .

The silence was blessed.

  3. We had neighborhood fireworks that sounded like it was in front of my house, but on investigation, it was a good distance away – so all was good here too!

  4. It was a noisy Fourth in our area, but everything quieted down before midnight. Fear of pumpkins I guess. 😀

  5. Rain, rain, and then more rain helped to keep things quiet here. I’m glad you got to share in the peace. The thunder and lightning nature provided more than made up for the absence of civic fireworks.

  6. I’m glad to hear that you had some quiet. We still had a few idiots around the neighborhood, but fewer than in years before. We’ve had some years when it’s been non-stop from Memorial day to mid-August.

  10. I think the dynamite yahoo moved to my yard Wednesday afternoon… I couldn’t see where it came from but it had to be close. Super loud! That was a first here. I usually hear the a night, but not enough to be a problem. But whatever that was… really loud.
    Glad you got that unexpected quiet, John.
    I’m mourning the end of my vacation leave, but it sure was nice to be away from the office for four days. TGIF hugs.
