So kept my dogs with me because I expected what I hear every year in North Cali.

The sweet sounds of M-80's being tossed...Basically small grenades...They'll blow off your hand.

And the sounds of shotguns, automatic weapons and pistols at midnight.

One time it went on for so long, that I took cover as I could hear an AK going off over and over...Sounded like somewhere terrible.

"Baghdad or Kabul Noodles?"-Asked some nerd on GW

"Worse...Sounded like South Chicago and I got spooked!"-Noodles

I was on the phone with a pal from Australia and they couldn't believe the weapondry within a block of my house...Sounded like this:

But tonight?

LOL I heard MAYBE 10 fireworks and like maybe 1 clip from a pistol.

Dudes ain't going to shoot off a $20 bucks worth of ammo in 3 seconds.

All of a sudden they're conservationalists, like John Muir 

Or that crazy weird chick...Grimy Greta 

But instead of cultivating and conserving nature they're doing it with weapons and ammo...For Jesus.
