@KCWildcat3333 @SueRomulus I think your intentions are the best. And understand your frustration. We watched on TV and turned it off after 10 mins, but watched every second from Nashville. Incredible, magical. IMO, in fireworks, just bigger isn’t better. It’s boring and boorish.

@gggirl924 The only two I’m unaware of are The Brincos and The Stooges. Los Bravos, a one-hit wonder, I know of because their story is memorable. (Google it.)

Glaring absences: Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Who else is missing?

@CheriJacobus We watched Trump’s “record” fireworks on TV for about 10 min. Kinda boring.

Maybe we’re spoiled by the Hollywood Bowl 4th. It goes on for maybe 6-7 min., synchs with the orchestra playing American marches and gets steady ooo’s and ah’s. Big and loud isn’t necessarily good.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@yay3d @theloftusparty Maybe, but if it is, then it’s a pretty good fake. We were up last night until 2 a.m. with Kleenex stuffed in our ears. It’s already starting again and it’s not totally dark yet. Went on for a week last year. Somehow, with all the horrors in the world today, so what?

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@OYourNameHereO @theloftusparty If the fireworks are the worst thing we do, so be it. Scofflaw not serious crime, I’m as concerned as I’d be about a neighbor rolling thru a stop sign. It’s turning dark this minute and here we go again. Last year it went on until a week after the 4th. Oh boy, ear plugs a must!

@PeevedPets @theloftusparty You’re kidding, right? The guy’s a bombastic ne’er do well who was a grievance vote, nothing else. Yet to have a job at age 42. Squandered a fortune on toys because the world was going to end in 2012. You realize that, right?

@JeffKahre @theloftusparty Our reservoir system has been designed to allow one location to be empty at any time without impeding fire fighting. That doesn’t fit the narrative of many in the Palisades, but it’s true and in the lengthy report on the genesis of the fire and how it was fought.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@JimFergusonUK In the 1950s, the 4th was the most exciting day of summer. Not just fireworks on a neighbor’s lawn but even the littlest of us got at least one sparkler to wave in the air. At the same time, smog was so severe, that I didn’t understand why where we lived was called the Valley!

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@PatriotMomUSA @RedWavePress Well, for a starter, there is no evidence of any vandalism whatsoever, despite cameras everywhere. Lots of evidence of algae forming and then hydrogen peroxide - corrosive to paint and sealants - being pour into the pool. Why does Trump never take responsibility? Sick.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@robbystarbuck Gulf of Mexico. FIFY.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@TiffMoodNukes It was worse this year than ever. Until 1:30 a.m. around Sherman Oaks Park. It feels like a scofflaw thing, not some big crime. But we’re a society of dog owners, the majority of us. Especially since the pandemic. Can’t we compromise on a reasonable time to stop it all?

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@nicksortor Hollywood Bowl. Maybe 5 minutes. In synch with music. Perfect. Length, random noise and size ≠ Great when it comes to fireworks.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@RJR1225 @atrupar Bullseye. Whose fault is Iran and the Strait of Hormuz? No former Olympian cruising through to blame. They’re gonna have to be really, really creative.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@guidoamm2 @DrCatharineY Yep. I’m comfortable and in fact know what Horton meant. Certainly not going to believe gadflies on this trash site.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@guidoamm2 @DrCatharineY Yep. I’ll take the words of scientists who themselves vaccinated their families, over the kooks who gravitate to this cesspool of conspiracies and unsupported, unrecognized “research.”

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@guidoamm2 @DrCatharineY Gobbledygook.

@libenterdiscere @PotatoDoggies @DrCatharineY Are you serious? People were dying left and right. The vaccine made it survivable. Before the vaccine, my infectious disease doc said I could not survive Covid which would trigger deathly cellulitus in me certainly. Getting the vaccine was not politics. And I’m here.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@libenterdiscere @PotatoDoggies @DrCatharineY Makes me want to say, “So what?”

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@BuzzPatterson Baby Boomer Valley girl here. I’m old enough to remember fireworks in our front yard with all the neighborhood kids. Legally. Of course, at the same time, I remember the smog being so bad, I was t sure why the Valley was called the Valley.

[Yenta Quidnunc @YQuidnunc]

@Kirkwoodk137 @VoteMeritXColor @MAGAVoice @POTUS Duh! Never had a real job at 42. Promoted conspiracies, squandered a fortune because the world was going to end in 2012. Said 9/11 was an inside job. Sells cure-all crystals like a carnival barker. Chose to underinsure, takes no responsibility for that when home then burns down.
