We experimented with throwing a few 12 ga shells into a fire. Nobody died. Actually nothing happened. I think the powder may have burned before the primer ignited.

Oh the innocence of youth. We shot 12 gauge shells with a .22. Scattered shot was about all we got, even aiming for the brass. We shot mason jars full of gasoline. Just a bunch of spilled gas. We even put a burning piece of paper next to the jar once. The gas drowned out the paper fire without igniting. We tried to make a fertilizer bomb once. (A couple of us were real nerds and had run across this idea decades before the Murrah Federal Building event.) Looks so simple in the movies. It took more fire to set it off than it generated. We never did get any of those Hollywood explosions. This was back in the late 70s, before most of that stuff was illegal. The company I worked for still sold dynamite to farmers to remove beaver dams and tree stumps.
I drove to work in a pickup with a high powered rifle in the gun rack to sell thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate, even delivering it on location. Only a couple of the older guys could sell the dynamite. I don't remember if that was simply a company police or whether there was some licensing involved. Yet those were much safer times. In those days, every citizen was responsible for their actions. There were no "safe" spaces. As a result, we figured stuff out, learned to live with hurt feelings, and got on with our lives.
I miss those times.

Except for the people that got blown up.

How's the heat over there for you? Did you make it thru the killer heat wave? I felt sick on Monday. 100 at our house.

Still here. We hit 109. Plenty hot. Beer and AC were my only friends.

Insurectionists will always ruin it for the rest of us. I'm waiting for the next big push against the federal government. Shouldn't be long now.

We have a daylight basement but no AC. Temp was about 75 down there so we got thru it. Dog had to be hosed down every few hours though. She didn't mind.

Happy 4th of July, hillbillies who'll never learn to use chopsticks now!
