Happy New Year, OP, everybody.
Dang, louder than ever around here. Those weren't just fireworks.
A friend of ours used to live in Santa Ana. A very nice area, but only a mile or two away from some bad areas. One New Years, a long time ago, we went down to the Santa Ana River bed to light off some fireworks.
We started hearing little pings against the concrete. We got outta there.
