Starting With A Bang
Despite the current burn ban in Travis County, including a ban on fireworks rockets, Roman candles, and other airborne explosives, we expected some illicit activity for New Year's Eve.
Given that a) our oldest dog totally freaks over fireworks of any sorts (to the point of once jumping through and breaking a window), and b) the idiotic next-door neighbors have a huge line of dry dead cut brush along the entirety of our property line, 6" x 6", we weren't about to stay out all night. Ergo, we ran in to some friends at Rusty Spurs (the next gay country bar in town) and made it home by 10pm.
Thankfully, our house and property didn't burn down.
No, that "privilege" was reserved for the house across the street and 2 doors down, right around 12:30am.
And yes, the odds are astronomically high that alcohol and illicit fireworks were the culprit. Yeesh.
