Well, another Halloween has come and gone with fireworks echoing over the Burnaby landscape.
I’ve always enjoyed the light shows in the sky but, once again, the few people that disregard common sense ruin it for everyone.
I do have a dog that is terrified of the racket and have to drug him to get through the times when fireworks and firecrackers are set off.
On Halloween night, it went on for hours until well after midnight and it’s heartbreaking to see an animal in such distress, but I suppose that people who do something illegal don’t have much sympathy for that.
Also, this morning, I took a garbage bag out to George McLean Park because I knew that there would be garbage left; people like that seem to think someone else will pick up after them. I collected two big garbage bags of leftover garbage from their “fun.”
In the great scheme of things, this is not an earth-shattering problem but once again, it is indicative of how our community has deteriorated over time and it is regrettable.
