    Wonder how we ever made it settin off fireworks in the 50's when I was a kid.
    Never had to have anybody telling us its dry outside not to set off fireworks.
    We did what we wanted to.
    CAn't remember of a fire from Fireworks either.
    And the Black Cat firecrackers, Cherry Bombs, and M80 were a lot stronger then than now..........:banghead:

    I looked up the Rendezvous site and it's really cool. Besides the shooting I dug the tomahawk throws and the buckskins. In the 50's we used to dig holes in telephone poles with our pocket knives and set cherry bombs off in them! I suppose we were lucky no one got his eye put out, but I recieved my share of splinters!
