I would love to find out who was setting off fireworks in my neighborhood last night at 1:30AM. I want to go wish them a VERY merry Christmas.

Presumably at 1:30am in the morning as well? :-D

Yes. We saw them out the window after a sprang from my bed to see who was being stupid.

I can picture you duct taping a loudspeaker to their windows, and yelling "HO HO HO, Merry Christmas"  at 1:30am Christmas Eve as they go to sleep. Not giving you any ideas or anything. :whistle:

Actually, my plan was to stick one of their fireworks where the sun doesn't shine and lighting it. Did I mention that these were the big display type fireworks?

Yeah, getting a 4" wide mortar shell up there might be a bit of a challenge. :-D \

BTW, I didn't know they are legal in Ohio?

They're not legal in NJ and plenty of people have them. My old neighborhood had somebody that liked to set off fireworks at random times for no apparent reason. Really annoying.

Yes, but with a modern twist. Loud booms that wake me up definitely make me grinchy. ;-)

Lol me too. One night a BOOM shook the house. It turned out to be a gas explosion that lifted some poor souls house off its foundation. Just knowing that kinda mistake thing can happen takes the fun out of fireworks like m80s. Although I do have fond memories of spray paint cans hurtling skyward before blowing up into multicolored mushroom clouds.

Yep. Saw it on the news. This kid got shot attempting to rob the guy who shot him. I say good. It's not good that he's dead, but he is definitely not a victim.

I can't decide how I feel about it really, I mean they are shoes, why shoot someone over them. At the same time, you shouldn't be pulling a gun on someone to steal their shoes either.

you don't know if the guy is going to shoot you after he gets the shoes. If someone pulls a gun on you and you have a gun, you shoot first and ask questions later.

True enough, a lot of what ifs when it comes to these types of scenarios. I'll just never understand how shoes can be worth such actions.

Agreed.  It's easy to say 'he got whats coming to him' and I wouldn't even attempt to argue that.  It's true, he did.

But I would like to ask the shooter today, and again in a year, two, 5, whatever, if he thinks it was worth killing a man over a pair of shoes.

Definitely not worth it over a pair of shoes.

The shooter did not know that it would stop with the shoes though did he?  I think that is the point @CarlSpackler ake.

    • Day 292: light day today. Mirror work, working on getting my hips more open in the downswing.
    • Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…
    • Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well. 
    • Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress. 
    • Day 7- Went to the range and hit a bucket. Also did some chipping and putting.
