Haha. I get to see some of them right after they launch, but it's just a tiny spot in the sky.
I would love to. But I think you have to have some special clearance in order to even go over to the spot where they are assembled. Not even sure if the public is ever allowed there.
Nope. But close. A few minor / medium ones that weren't my fault. But, one time my car was totalled by the other person's insurance company. They paid me quite a bit for it. Then I bought it back for about $500, cheaply fixed it up, and got it back on the road. Same with one of my motorcycles.
I was asleep by 8:30pm. Then awoken around 11:30pm. Listened to the neighbords fireworks until 1am and fell back asleep. Then neighbor set off really loud fireworks at 4am or so. I got up at 4:30am. I did watch some fireworks on TV at midnight though.
