when i was a kid i watched my friend blow most of his hand off with a cherry bomb......even today i wont hold and throw a lady finger or any other small fire works.......the big stuff is fun but the results of poor decision making are forever..... but it was sure fun, as a kid in mexico, to go and buy half sticks and watch the dads blow up trash cans on the beach....

nowadays i just want to lock up the cats and dog inside for a month, and pray that the dumb kids in the neighborhood dont land a bottle rocket on the roof and burn the place down.....
