I purchased my home in the Sunset Cliffs area in 1967, just as Sea World was getting started. At that time there were no fireworks every night.
Over the many years I have resided here, the fireworks have become nightly, scaring the dogs that live here; having a Viet-Nam discharged military man leave my house in a hurry because the sound of the fireworks brought back all of the experiences he had while fighting in the war; and watching other animals panic at the sound of the explosives.
