Good morning? Were the fireworks as attenuated in your neck of the woods? It was eerily quite here for the first time, ever. Normally it sounds like a war zone. Are Americans growing tired of celebrating an American experiment that seems to be dying in the lab?
In the northern suburbs of Chicagoland they sounded about the same as usual. Occasional, and more continuous further off because a lot of towns have displays on the same evening. But nothing like during the pandemic years when it was freakin' Friday Night Firefight for a month.
