I also played a lot with fire. Sometimes involving gasoline and sometimes not. Those were different times, I guess.

My brother use to like to coat his hand in acetate and light it on fire for his friends. Hours of entertainment!

I remember washing my hands with gasoline to cut grease. Back in my younger days that was leaded gasoline. That can't have been good.

use to have a little blob of mercury in my desk drawer that I would play with.

The best was when we found the unexploded package of plastic explosives the workmen left around. Our house was one of the first on the block, and they construction guys would use it to loosen the bedrock to build basements/foundations. It looked like a tube of cookie dough. We tried everything from bashing it with a hammer, to putting fire-crackers in it, to cutting the cord off my mom's hair dryer, attaching it to an extension cord and sticking it into the blob. We were fortunate to never solve how to set it off.

Only 2? Revo would have been disapointed.

I read an article about him and holy freakin' smokes what a psycho that guy is.

wasn't he the dude that was at bat when bhob's kid shouted out... "BOO! We're only rooting for the white guys!"

I still tell that story.

There isn't really much else on anyone's "To-Do in Canton" list.

the First Ladies National Historic Site is there. I've been there.

There's a Cracker Barrel.

Have you considered flying instead?

I'm just going to walk it.

Back in my archaeology days, I worked for several months on an enormous missile range. We had to do a training about unexploded ordinance and were instructed essentially to never touch anything plastic or metal out there in the dunes. Of course, my crew being the geniuses they were, we ended up spending a decent amount of time lighting spent rocket fuel on fire. Smart, as in not so smart from smart enough people.

If God had meant for heye to fly, he would have given him wings.

It is a little disconcerting to walk by huge missiles lodged in the side of sand dunes. I did get to see an enormous rocket, maybe 40 or 50 feet long, launch one time so that was pretty cool.

Maybe there is a better option ? Ken suggests you fly by...Heye would drive by if it wasn't so damn expensive.

My dad did a tour of some petroglyphs on a military base down there. He said they got on a tour bus that was completely blacked out and drove down to the site. Same place?

Probably, yeah. I'm talking about the White Sands Missile Range. There are a couple other military bases, though, and petroglyphs are all over the place, including right in my town.

Watching Lance McCullers just wears me out.

Going to my first game in several years tonight. Of course it turns out mccullers is pitching.

12 hours at 132 degrees is too long for Tri-tip. it starts to get a bit mushy. Still good, but the texture is a bit off. Next time I'll stick to 6 hours.
