The 4th of July Is Around the Corner!

Speaking of fireworks and penny sticks and so on, anyone ever hear of, see or have experience with a potato bomb? If you have ever experienced these things, then you know that they can cause a lot of damage. I was called to a home in a very upscale area some years ago about people using illegal fireworks.

When I got to the home, an accident had just occurred prior to my arrival. The man that owned the home was an avid golfer and actually had a putting green built in his backyard. As a joke, his nephew made a potato bomb and placed it in the cup, but it never went off. After a few minutes of waiting for it to explode and nothing happened, he told his uncle what he did. His uncle went up to the cup and just as he placed his hand into the cup to grab the bomb, it exploded.

The force of the explosion was so severe that it totally ripped the man’s hand, including destroying his fingers, nerves, muscles and tendons. He would never play golf again. It really did a number on the man psychology. Playing golf to him was everything.

"Had a Declaration...I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

※ Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, July 3, 1776 ※

Anyone seen the videos of kid shooting off fireworks in the middle of major cities? Since many organized events are cancelled due to the virus there are rumors the manufacturers are selling illegal fireworks to anyone that will buy them.
