Out with a bang

The principal method for celebrating the New Year here is fireworks. I don't know what, if any, restrictions there may be on them but it doesn't seem to be too many. There was quite a raucous fusillade outside our home last night around 11:30 accompanied by children screaming and running up and down the road in front of the house. At midnight one could hear a nearly incessant sequence of explosions near and far for about 10 solid minutes. Needless to say, sleep was elusive. So the year went out and came in with a bang.

Amazingly, Ellyn slept through the whole ruckus.
