I live in Chickencatcher Holler in the most red county in Georgia. The fireworks tonight [View all]

are like nothing I've ever heard before. I've only lived here for about 15 years. Probably tRumpers getting their explosive thang going. Will have to check with my nurse friends who work at the local hospital to see how many of my neighbors get brought in courtesy of the county tonight. Seriously, it sound like a thunderstorm or a war zone.
