We are a bad influence on the neighborhood.

When we first moved here 7 years ago, we were the ONLY people doing fireworks in our driveway. Every 4th and New Year's, we were out there, and over time the occasional neighbor began poking their head out, or slowing their car to watch our current fountain or whatever finish before they continued on their way.

Tonight, there were no fewer than 5 other houses within sight on our street, all doing large fireworks in their driveways. Hooray for cultural Darwinism!
