The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters
IIRC, the silver salutes had a fuse at the end, rather than sticking out of the midsection like an M-80. Been a *long* time since I last saw one, though. Both had that waterproof green cannon fuse.
Thanks - I’ll have to look had those links when I have the time. And I guess the ones I’m remembering are the M-80s. And yes - we sure were fortunate to have survived our childhoods with our lives (or at least our digits and both eyes).
I was just telling my kids how often we do stupid stuff without thinking of the consequences. And hopefully all we get is some teasing from our friends or being grounded by our parents.
