The fear of the day.

I used to grab onto moving cars while riding my skateboard.

Also discovered what you get when you mix styrofoam and gasoline

yeah, same here. we needed something to use for a quick gas-can, so we got the bright idea of just putting it in a styro cooler to move it to the car. probably just as well we never actually got it into the tank that way.

what a freakin mess that was.

Back in Queens my mother would send me to buy her cigarettes at a convenience store that, if vague memory serves, openly sold child pornography. Stole a lot of baseball cards and candy bars from that place.

My mother's one safety caveat was that I was forbidden to cross Queens Boulevard, which was a fairly large main street. To be safe, I had to go down into the subway and up the other side.

I, too, spent most of my youth without seatbelts. Though I miss the one-arm driving, I think that was kind of stupid considering that as a kid I did hit the windshield once in an accident. Not that changed our habits.

Ah, but used in mischievous ways, what fun that freakin mess can be!

I can say that if you make enough to half fill a crack in the road that is about 2-1/2" wide, and 1-1/2" deep, it will burn for about a 1/2 hour. We found out the hard way as did our neighbors.

You know, I'm sorely tempted to make today's "fear of the day" Kevy.
