| #7 but did you get to play with them indoors, Pappy? Of course we did - what with the railroad tracks in our back yard and the state highway in the front. Of course, with a cardboard box, it was just a matter of slapping some tape over the holes - tho we had to steal the tape from the steel mill. And we were damned grateful for it. Oh, for an irrigation ditch to swim in our underwear in. That i s- if we'd had underwear... |

| #4 You had crew served weapons? When we were little all we had was an AK-47 held together with duct tape and a box of old potato-mashers. And we were grateful for that! |

| #2 I attribute this to a lack of parental guidance. When we were little, Ma always kicked our asses for playing with rockets indoors. Same with crew-served weapons. |
