M-80s!

Many moons ago, several friends -- of course, without me (cough, cough) -- used the old ``Silver Salute`` M-80s to blow up six mail boxes in a row...two ex-girlfriends, one friend, and three totaly innocent homes. A picture with the six flopped over mailboxes dangling in perfect linear order made the front page of the local suburban newspaper with Barney Fife lookin` to make an arrest. I think Andy decided not to give him a bullet for that one... the things kids do...one of those kids is now an Army Major in Iraq. He still loves to blow stuff up.

I hope everyone has a great 4th -- and remember to toast our country`s finest in the armed services. They deserve it `cause Freedom has never been Free!
