Sounds like some folks have some real July 4th firepower outside, and the alerts are coming fast and thick. One neighbor already had a window cracked from fireworks or (he suspects) a bullet. Gonna be fun tonight.

quote:What does SPA mean? If you are in the city of Houston then firework are illegal. If you aren't, but are in Harris county, then the HOA can only enforce those deed restrictions that registered with the county. NOT what the HOA board feels like banning.
In our neighborhood you were damned either way. You were either an ass who disrespects the military for shooting fireworks or a commie jerk for not shooting them.
Then one of our HOA board members announced that there would be bands of police roaming the neighborhood writing $1,000 per firework tickets.
A lot of it stems from a disagreement of whether or not fire works are legal in our neighborhood, which is in a SPA of Houston.
We left town and spent the holiday at Pensacola NAS with Darius Rucker and 50,000 military folks who were perfectly happy to drink beer and watch things blow up.
