I didn't realize we were living during the revolutionary war

So have you ever been to the North End of Boston? Full of food, tourists and too much American history for this pup. I don't know who had the BRILLIANT idea of firing a CANNON off every morning at 8, and every evening at sunset. A cannon. What is this? The 1800's? Who fires cannons anymore? It doesn't make any sense and I don't know if I'll ever get used to that stupid thing. I pee a little every time it happens and it's just awful. I'm working so hard on my potty training and this darn cannon is ruining EVERYTHING.
