My neighbors threw a VERY loud party
and didn't invite me - THE BASTARDS!
Not a big deal, because I could sleep through it, but the shooting off of fireworks indiscriminately pissed me off. Had to stay awake just in case the roof caught fire.
Sadly, saw on this morning's newscast that that did happen to somebody last night; in nothing flat a guy and his family are out on the street, homeless, with only the clothes on their backs. By the times the smoke alarms went off, it was already too late.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
