John, you are so right about downtown hilo. I live in Hilo and my neighbors have been shooting off fireworks for two days straight. We're choking on the smoke and our cat won't go outside, she is so freaked out. You would think that they would run out, but no there seems to be an endless supply. My husband is a combat vet and he's started to talk about how easy it would be to "pick off" the neighbors. Just kidding. But, seriously it's driving us crazy.
