I don't know that, either, but I did uncover something else.

Here's the story, from Tuesday—following the Birthday Party and the sinking of the sailboat—all of which could've been witnessed from our property:

Around Noon, I heard a continuous string of firework blasts.

There doesn't seem to be a good reason to "celebrate" That Day in History—except Russia declared war on Japan—1945. After five minutes, I looked across Winter Harbor to see a large plume of gray smoke a little west of Lloyd Road's "end":

"End", because a heavy gate has blocked access for some years. Many heavy trucks were heard in the same area, using their "Jake Brakes"—even as the blasting of fireworks continued.

It sounded as though an 18-wheeler loaded with fireworks had caught fire at one end! After ten minutes of blasts, I called Wolfeboro authorities to ensure there was no danger of forest fire.

A discussion at the dispatcher's office ensued, so then I was told there was no call-ins for a fire. Turning to me again, the dispatcher asked if the sound was definitely fireworks, I replied, "I'm very familiar with the sound of fireworks".

The dispatcher then stated that fireworks were NOT LEGAL in Wolfeboro.

BTW 1: Can you guess who's running those wake-setter boats all over Winter Harbor?

BTW 2: As a screen-name, "There Goes The Neighborhood" has not be selected here—yet.

You're welcome.
