A GIGA-GLORIOUS FOURTH OF JULY


As an eleven year old  boy growing up in Amherst. Mass., fireworks were the coin of the kingdom and would warrant serious trade chips for even a few fire crackers, pop bottle rockets, or in a rare moment of good fortune, some cherry bombs or M-80's.  My good friend Deb, who shares this love,( but more for the display variety), managed to acquire a stock equivalent of
Montezuma's ransom to a country kid of long ago..  Here are a few excerpts from the catalog.... and a very short list of titles:  BLING BLING, THE WHOLE SHEBANG, THE NEW HOTNESS,
ONE PERFECT THING, VENGEFUL TEXAN, HICKTOWN HEAVEN, PYRO GYRO, ECSTASY, OSAMA'S TURBAN BOMB, YEAH BABY YEAH, and DA BIG BOX O' BOMBS.

Have a Giga-Gorgeous 4th ...
