Yep, my neighborhood out here in RR was pretty quiet too. Usually it's WWIII every 4th and NYE - but everyone behaved themselves this year. Thankfully.

Same here, I was impressed that the community could behave it self so well, kinda proud actually. Perhaps the fire in Oak Hill put the fear of god into everyone.

We ended up going to the Georgetown show. We just love to watch them, and there were no problems with people breaking the law.

I was so happy there were no fireworks. My kids could sleep, my dog wasn't hiding under a bed and I didn't have to worry about my house catching on fire.
