Happy New Year!

And the neighbors around here are definitely in a celebratory mood as it
sounds like they're shooting .45s right outside the window, although I think
they're fireworks that are a bit more powerful than an M-80 [1]. It actually
sounds like there are more fireworks being shot off now than on the Fourth
[2], which always reminds me of this:

reason professions exist.] [3]

It's something to keep in mind when working with fireworks [4] …
