When the Missus and her husband (Mister Missus?) are drifting off to sleep, what usually wakes them up is gunshots, loud music, loud talkers or "people screaming to other people that they are 'deadbeat dads." So she reports that the firecrackers the people in the next street over were setting off around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday were a nice little diversion:
