lots of sound and fury

I love Independence Day! I love the patriotic music and dazzling fireworks and I have enjoyed them all on TV this evening.  Still nursing this stupid cold so I didn't want to sit outside for several hours. I did, however, venture out on my deck for a while because fireworks are going on all around my house.  Lots of fireworks all around me, but also lots of trees all around my house. So what I saw was a lot of dark with an occasional small flicker through the trees.  The noise makes up for it though. It sounds like a miniature battle field out there, with an occasional police siren thrown in. Not sure what that is about. Too much of a good time???
