Twenty years ago, when my daughter was 5, she became aware of fireworks and asked me if we had any.

I was living in NJ where even sparklers were outlawed, BUT I was into black powder firearms and had about 6 pounds of the stuff on hand.

I discovered some old hollow plastic Alphabet Blocks in the basement, we punched a hole in them, filled them with black powder, added about 12" of cherrybomb fuse (available at Dixie Gunworks" and sealed them with silicon rubber cement.

We had a ball....Of course if we were to do that today I'd be arrested on possessing terrorist paraphenalia.

How life has changed.

Regards
Joe

The Jackson family lawyer, Brian Oxman, said he warned the pop star about his misuse of prescription drugs.
