PTSD sucks. I have my ear plugs in, trying to ride out the explosions outside. Anyone else in a similar situation, maybe neurodivergent?

I don’t hide from them, I just don’t go out of my way to see them. I recently moved and my last neighborhood really did a fantastic show…. if you saw them from the parks around the lakes.

Everyone knows this so in order to get a “seat” in the parks you have to get there 4-6 hours in advance.

And then there is the traffic madness to deal with when they are over.

My family and I did it once. We paired with two other families and made a picnic out if it. It was a good time and absolutely not worth the effort.
