My friends and I built large model sailing ships with little cannons on them and sent them out to battle with each other! Once the lighter failed on my ship "Old Ironsides" and I went out to get my ship to fix it and the other vessel gave by backside a broadside! I had to have my mother dig buckshot out of my tailend. I lost the battle but had wounds to show for it. Never happen today.

We got shot with rocksalt-filled shotgun shells, blew up toy soldiers with firecrackers, burned leaves in the backyard, shoveled snow from 100 ft driveways for 25 cents each, built tree forts in high trees and lived on boloney and hot dogs-- man, life was good!!

We used to also take the old smudgepots they used as flares near constuction and pretend they were bombs. Can you imagine - the horrors of an untended open flame!!
