This has been one of the quietest Fourth of July I've experienced. It's been completely overcast with the roll of thunder off in the distance, the city of Boca Raton [1] cancelled their fireworks show, and our neighbor across the street [2] decided to celebrate with his backyard neighbor on the next street over.
Yes, there's the occasional burst of fireworks here and there, but it sounds nowhere near the levels of a war zone as it has in the past.
Happy Fourth of July! And keep safe out there!
