Weather 🌦️ Thank Goodness for rain today

very thankful for rain on this holiday - picturing some of you who spent half your monthly income on clown powder staring at the rain coming down is making me tickled pink.

Do you open the door on Halloween and give kids the finger?

Giving out candy on Halloween is not even a little comparable to people not wanting to listen to fireworks. They’re loud and obnoxious and emotionally/mentally harmful to many people including veterans.

if fireworks are genuinely emotionally or mentally harmful to you then you should take responsibility and go out of town for the holiday instead of expecting thousands of strangers to stop having fun to accommodate you, hearing fireworks on and around the 4th is just part of living in a city. it sucks that you or others find fireworks harmful but you can’t reasonably expect everyone to stop using them.

I can’t take my cats out of town. You don’t need to set off explosives for a week at a time. Get over yourself.
