We have a view across most of lower Puna--lots of aerial fireworks around midnight. Thanks for the free show!
Are the aerials the ones you need permits for, or is that firecrackers? I'm usually content with the lawn packs from WallyWorld, so haven't figured out the fancier stuff.

What I find shocking is the disconnect with the pro firework at home or in the street folk and the stats of burns, deaths and lost and injured animals. Some traditions stop being a good thing when the population reaches a certain level.
I remember one new year's eve spending the night in Kaumana after festivities and our lungs and sinuses were burning in the morning not to mention being kept up by firewords till dawn, and all I could think of was the senior citizens living in that neighborhood who it turns out were not doing well at all. How self-centered can humans get? Apparently there's no cap on that.

Now that I see the picture, they were definitely the lanterns. No, they weren't over the ocean. One floated right down by my house. If they don't cause fires, it's only because we live in a place with no dry brush and houses with metal roofs.

Last night was great. Bigger and bigger booms, then it started raining at 10 pm. Back to silence. Just another benefit of being on the wet windward side.
