Going out with a bang
Things got pretty noisy yesterday evening in our normally quiet, northwestern Greensboro neighborhood.
Normally you hear fireworks on New Year's Eve, but the neighbors decided to wait this time around. Then about 8 p.m., bang. Then bang again. Then bang again, one right after the other, for about 15 minutes.
There's another sound in the far off distance: the ca-ching of South Carolina cash registers selling these things since you can't buy them here legally - at least the potent ones that drown out the sound of your TV.

Lucky you, in my east Greensboro neighborhood there were no illegal fireworks unless you count the hundreds upon hundreds of gun shots that rain down no telling where.
