Aloha, Is is just me or do firecrackers launched across yards so far they whiz past neighbors windows seem dangerous?
I've lived in Hawaii off and on for over 12 years but never have seen/heard so many dangerous pyrotechnics right new door and flying into my yard. But then I hadn't lived in HPP since the 80's up until 2 years ago.
The firecrackers started about a week before Christmas. Then last night, Christmas, one whizzed by my window and tonight everal aerials burst over my carport and my very dry side and back yards. I've always enjoyed the local tradition of fireworks on New Year's Eve, but then we could prepare for that and bring our pets indoors. I think they're all shell shocked this week. They can't even use their pet door because it faces the pyrotecnic's house.
This starts up at various times every afternoon and continues until late at night. Every day. At one point one of the cousins over there was standing at our fence line lighting firecrackers, and there's nothing there but dry grass. Their driveway and back yard where they usually do this is clear on the other side. I asked him if he could go somewhere else other than right by my window. I just don't understand this lack of consideration, and for all the animals. I know people who actually get sedation for their dogs for New Year's Eve, but my pets have to get scared out of their wits day after day after day. I figured a few more days anf PAU till next year (at which time we'll back on the mainland) , but tonight when the aerials were bursting over what looks like a big dry wheat field out back of here, and after that firecracker whizzed past by window last night, I thought enough already!
I am either going to try talking to the woman over there and see if she can talk some sense into her boyfriend or I'm going to wait till they start up tomorrow and call the police.
Am just really scared one of us or our pets is going to get hurt or the house is going to burn down. It's awfully dry out there. I think they banned aerials in Honolulu after several fires. And why on Earth would some one rocket off firecrackers?
