Maybe another time I'll tell about the next 4th, when Tom's
wife dropped a lit cig in the shopping bag with 2 bricks of
firecrackers, 2 gross of bottle rockets, a gross of M-80's
and two dozen 1" rockets. That was my last trip to the beach
with them....

I was riding with Uncle Stanley and his son was tossing firecrackers out the
window. One came back in rear side window and touched off the bricks in the
back. Sounded like WWII.
