So sorry to hear of the young one's death. [:(] [V] <br /> <br />It is bad for middle aged or older folks but someone whose life is still ahead of them is heartbreaking to hear about. [V] [:(] <br /> <br />When I was in the 4th or 5th grade I had a small package of firecrackers go off in my hand. Two of us were using the same punk to light our firecrackers and one of the fuses burned faster than it should have. (That happens every now and then, ya know.) I had ringing in my ears for a while and my fingers were numb. But that was the extend of my injury then. Another time (while younger of course) we were having a bottle rocket fight. [:0] My friend's dad worked on washers and dryers in his spare time and had about 10 of them in their back yard. I had my stash of bottle rockets on one of the washer/dryers. There were at least 3 of us in the rocket fight. I was hiding at times behind the washers and stood up to shoot one. Just as I stood up a bottle rocket flew through my hair and almost got caught. [:0] Thankfully I was able to get it out just before it exploded. [B)] Later in that same fight a bottle rocket landed in my stash. You talk about "4th of July", man oh man, I had to retreat to the garage. My friends were ducking behind washers and dryers. Those rockets were going off in every direction and quicker than you could watch them. <br /> <br />Anyone remember the eposide of "Our Gang" where the kids were on a Pullman sleeper and the fireworks were going off? I remember it somewhat but not much. Of course I saw it as a rerun after school when I was younger. <br /> <br />(I hate it when my fingers work faster than my mind. Know what I mean?) [}:)] [;)] <br /> <br />
