Wait! Perhaps, the fireworks are in celebration of a rarely seen phenomenon ... I mowed a lawn yesterday for the first time since I was 12 years old! Nah ... At most that deserves applause:)
Maybe it's because the City of Houston joined the 21st century and enacted a smoking ban in bars and restaurants which began at midnight ... I don't think so ...
Are the fireworks in honor of the kick-off for the football season? I'm headed to College Station this afternoon to attend the Texas A&M-Montana State football game with my sister, brother and niece. Unlikely.
Could it be for my vocal coaching in Houston tomorrow at 4pm? That's something to cheer about, but still ...
Has anyone seen my "Man of La Mancha" script and score from 2004? After searching for hours yesterday, finding it would be something to celebrate!!
The fireworks have stopped after 45 minutes, though the neighborhood rooster continues to crow. I'm going back to bed! Is there is a legit reason as to why there are fireworks on September 1 at the butt crack of dawn? I'd like to know .. in about two hours ...
(Edit: As I paid the monthly fee for my storage unit about 11am, I casually mentioned to the ladies who work there about the fireworks, the firecracker sounds, early this morning. They replied, "Hon, it's the beginning of dove season. Those were rifle shots you were hearing." At 7:30am? Geez ... Remember, I live right downtown!)
