Heard between 10pm and midnight, did anyone else hear sounds like thunder or explosions repeatedly emanating from downtown Durham?! Does anyone know what may be going on? Sounds possibly like fireworks, but I don't see lights. Ray Ubinger, Durham rcu@acpub.duke.edu 682-3683

Sounds possibly like >fireworks, but I don't see lights. I was driving along last night at about 2300, and saw a burst of Fireworks from the 15-501, in the direction of Durham. That is likely it... but why the fireworks? Which brings me to another question: What are the relevant pyrotechnics laws in NC regarding purchase, storage, and use of fireworks? Is it a 'limited window' purchase type of system (one week before and after July 4)? Or a ''No, no, no' New York State type policy? Just wondering. :) JTS

[...] [B]ut why the fireworks? One guess is that they were dedicating that new ball park. > What are the relevant pyrotechnics laws in NC [...] 'limited window' > [or] ''No, no, no' [?] Not sure, except to say that recently (within last year) a new class of fireworks was decriminalized: those emitting showers of sparks and/or piercing scream-whistling. In addition to the previously (I think) legal smoke-bomb and black- snake-charcoal kinds, these can now be bought year-'round, I think. Still illegal (except to the privileged elite who run things like state fairs and "public" ball parks) are the outright explosive kind, like firecrackers. GOOD GOD. I just remembered that the night I heard these sounds was Guy Fawkes's Day! Ray Ubinger, Durham rcu@acpub.duke.edu

Gotta stop eating like that. Gee, you could have warned us. By the way, your voice has changed, but your breath still smells the same. Ray Ubinger, Durham rcu@acpub.duke.edu
