Well, last night got even more interesting.
The battle waged well into the early light of dawn. At some point, one of my neighbors, somewhat annoyed by the cannon fire having obliterated his semi prised rhodadendron bush, broke out the industrial sized mortar rockets he had been hideing since WWII. I mean, these suckers required their own dedicated launch tube, no little namby pamby glass bottle launched rockets for him! So, he took aim upon the cannon fireing lunatic at the other end of the street, and the two proceeded to have it out. It was a sight to behold. The rockets red, and green, and blue glare, the cannon fired bombs bursting in air. At least it was bright enough that I could tell that they hadn't blown up my Flag. The stars were a bit singed in one corner though...
After a few hours of shelling eachother, they gave up and started having joint target practice with the various trees, and windows, and shiny objects of the neighborhood. It looks like Kosovo outside this morning. Even the craters have craters in them!
