I live in a neighborhood where people set off fireworks and it plays hell with him. My friend and I went to the 4th parade and it rained here, but it was still fun. When we got back home, it was only 3 short blocks away, Bud, my dog chewed up all kinds of cardboard in the house. He is 8 yrs now and the sounds from the parade must have made him very upset. This year has been far worse than any other year for him. I know Bud could do without the sounds of the 4th, but people must have their fun. Take care.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-73627509107826084632008-07-04T19:47:00.000-05:002008-07-04T19:47:00.000-05:00This wasn't down Lou.

She laughed and said that when she was pregnant with my brother in 1969, she cried to her grandmother who said "We cried in the 1920's that this was the worst time the earth had ever seen and we feared for our children. Every generation says it." So every time I wish I'd lived in an earlier, simpler time...I think of my great grandmother's words.<BR/><BR/>I feel this country will not be what it is meant to be until the current government model is completely replaced.
