Many years ago my cousin found an "interesting piece of something" while hiking and stuck it in his pocket. That night, he decided it wasn't all that interesting, so he threw it into the campfire. They did a pretty good job of rebuiliding his knee after the blasting cap exploded. |

I grew up in the sixties (at least the part of growing up where you can leave the yard, but still have no experience or common sense.) It was also the era of the major build-outs on the highway system and suburban sprawl, but before OSHA enforcement and the nanny-state 'sue everyone' era. Most building sites had no security perimeter to speak of, and from quitting time till dark, and all day Sundays, every construction site was treated as a playground by the neighborhood kids. Every year in school, they had somebody (Fire Department?) come in and do a demo and leave posters about blasting caps, and how they were not toys, and how to call an adult or the authorities if you ever 'found' one, and nobody would get in trouble for it, yada yada yada. My father owned a construction company, so little of the presentations was news to me, but I think the film clips got many of the male classmates thinking- 'Hey- I gotta get me some of those!' aem sends... |
