Flashback Friday

Back in the day, we could get a pack of the awesome snake fireworks for ten cents a pack at the neighborhood store. Sparklers were also ten cents a pack, but for some reason, we all bought more of the snakes than sparklers.  This, of course, was to much dismay on behalf of my father and grandfather, because they were the ones that had to try (key word) to scrub the burn marks off of our nice concrete driveway.  

It took a year or two for me to figure out that I should get a piece of wood or a stone slab of some type to put the snakes on before I lit them.  Yeah, I guess I was a slow learner.
