OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

As a kid (around 4) I held a fire cracker a little too long B4 throwing. Hurt like HELL.
I remember spending a weekend out in the country in Kingston Tennessee with a couple of my elementary school mates in the 70’s. They were crazy, shooting and blowing up all kinds of things. I enjoyed watching from inside the safety of the mom’s station wagon.
 
Bottle rocket fights on the 4th were always a smart idea.
I remember tossing one in the air and a police officer just so happened to be driving by the house and of course the bottle rocket had a mind of its own and went straight across the hood of the car. I was lucky he was a cool guy and also lucky his window wasn’t rolled down 🤦‍♂️

One of the times I was arrested the cops were actually really cool.
 
This is the one that gets me in trouble with law enforcement:

I know all about those two. The bottom one caused me to get a TN trooper
to stop me doing 88 in a 75 zone in 1971 or so. In those days, you didn't care
about such things but over the years they have made it (fines) tougher now.
