Got lucky a few times when I near gassed myself.
Considering all the things my cohort did before age twelve, in today’s climate we’d be arrested by BATFE, DHS, and who knows who else. Came out the other side comparatively unscathed. Well, not counting stiches, broken bones, or mild burns.
LOL, there was one summer my dad yelled at me, “You and your gang of little Frankinsteins!” All of us having some visible stiches at the same time from solo adventures.
