Due to how dry everything is and the fact that I have common sense, I plan on being extra cautious this year with fireworks I purchase. There hasn't been an independence day I haven't celebrated yet in my 48 years, nor will there be one so long as I'm here.

NO and I do not think they should be sole, so many people are NOT responsible and it is too hot, way too hot and dry just asking for trouble. Like the kid a few years ago that started the big Columbia Gorge fire!

I don't usually, and don't understand WHY they are being sold when they have been outlawed this year due to the high temps and fire danger. Why were fireworks even sold?? It will only encourage /allow rule-breakers and others who don't give a crap about anything but a few hours of entertainment.

I believe that individual consumers shouldn't be able to buy fireworks....have believed this for decades.

It is insane that we are allowing fireworks to be sold this years. Too many chances of mishaps by people that don't take proper precautions.

Celebrating Fourth of July knowing that America is colonized, and people don’t accept it is the main reason. Another is consumerism. Finally, the earth is a heat ball. It’s dry. It is at risk. Last year, a couple of drunk folks launch fireworks at are yard and caught it on fire. All for a post. Nah.

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.
