With such an amazing recall of these fireworks, something tells me you must have been a holy terror as a kid John.  Lol.

JB's fireworks recollection reminded me of a humorous childhood occurrence.  One of my buddies had a newspaper route in our small town; most people had mailboxes.  Early one morning around Hallowe'en, for a reason only ever known to him I suppose, he decided to of course deliver the morning paper to a subscriber he wasn't fond of but also thought it would be fun to place a cherry bomb in the mailbox with it.  So after all his papers were delivered he cycled back to the mailbox in question so it would be the last delivery.  He placed the paper inside and also a lit cherry bomb with an extended fuse.  He then cycled away rapidly in glee, hearing the blast.  He was quite dismayed shortly afterwards though when his father collared him and made him fess up in front of the local constable.  He couldn't figure out how they could have known it was him.  I guess he didn't consider that there wouldn't be too many "mad bomber" suspects out in our village at that early hour.  End of paper route and he had to replace the ruined mailbox.  He wasn't exactly operating at genius level that day.....or ever actually, now that I think of it.

I'm thinking you wrote the script for him to memorize JB.  Meant as a compliment of course!
