Someone at the other end of town is shooting off fireworks. A lot of fireworks, in fact. It looks like a 4th of July display, only a week early.
Is today a holiday of some sort that I'm ignorant of?

No. Your neighborhood is full of hoodlums.

Are you from Indiana? I was told that, apparently, 4th of July lasts like two weeks here.

Here in southern Ohio, where fireworks ARE ILLEGAL, pretty much starting this weekend until the end of August you'll hear fireworks going off.
So if you're in the midwest, I'd assume it'll keep happening.

Yes, it is Djibouti Independence Day. It's also National HIV Testing day.

My son took his first crap on the toilet a few hours ago. If I had fireworks, I'd shoot them off in celebration.

Around here there's fireworks after most nighttime games at the baseball field. Combine that with some places already doing the Independence Day fireworks and people getting them illegally from neighboring states, it's not a surprise as to what is going on.

Probably some geniuses that are getting a head start on the best possible way to blow up a part of their body with fireworks. Preparation is key.

Well in several cities and states there is a Gay Pride festival going on. Could it be tied to that?

Doubtful. Graduation was weeks ago 'round here. Well in several cities and states there is a Gay Pride festival going on. Could it be tied to that? Maybe, but I doubt it. I haven't seen or heard anything about that in this area.

It's a celebration of the traditional "Post-Buying Fireworks Trip Realization That You Now Have A Bunch Of Freakin' Fireworks" moment.
It's a time-honored tradition.
