Ran behind DDT foggers!? You must be crazy!
We rode our bikes through it.
Bottle rocket/roman candle wars, homemade, uhm .... stuff that made better noise than anything you could buy .....
Stuff we had in our pockets most days would cause a shut-down & the EPA would order a cool $1M+ clean-up as a toxic dump.
The good old days indeed.
Wonder how long it'll take for this thread to wander off into a "you youngsters just don't know" ....
