btw, also during january, which seems to be when there is a lotta planting of crops, this valley (sao vicente) rang out with the sound of fireworks that are not for show, they just go up in the air and one big bang, not celebratory fireworks, i can speculate that the reason was to scare off the pigeons that hunt the seeds they plant in the ground, kinda glad that shit stopped now but i suspect most of it was legit agricultural purposes
