Many thousands of people live within a couple of miles of Isotopes Park, the baseball park in the sports complex that's part UNM-own, part city-owned. We're two of those thousands of people.

It's summertime. Most people have their windows open at night here since not many use refrigerated air. It was a beautiful night for sleeping. Calm, clear and cool.

Last night, they had a baseball double-header at the park.   I could hear the crowd noise bouncing off our garage door very late. Much later than they normally end about 10pm. The games apparently ended at 12:10am. On a Sunday morning.

How did I know that? Because right then started fifteen minutes of amazingly loud fireworks that must have awakened every person in a five mile area, including every dog and cat that gets spooked by loud noises.

I was stunned by how inconsiderate it was for that to be allowed.   What about all the noise regulations the city has on the books?

Letters will be written; phone calls will be made.   We're sorely NOT impressed.

[edit: I assumed it was a double header. Apparently it was a 'twelve-inning nail-biter"]
