I thought I would relate a bit of how my holiday Friday went down to you all....
July 4, 2003:
Where do we start… so many adventures. Approximately 7:00pm, after a gruesomely long day with relatives, we decided to have some fourth of July fun. My brother had an idea to watch the local fireworks display from the roof of the local Church’s activity center. So two hours before the show starts we gear up to scout the location. We walk there, and find our view would be obstructed by trees. So we decided to walk to the local college (in the middle of the city) to see if there are any structures we can get on top of. We find an empty and unlocked dorm, so we enter. Going up to the fifth floor, we search for the roof access. Upon finding it, we discover it was securely padlocked. At this point it is 7:45pm. After a break, we decided to try another dorm. When we were exiting, I told my brother to use the left door, why he asked, as he never has been in a college environment before. Recalling an old Indiana Jones quote, “The door’s wired,” pointing to two silver wires protruding from the hinge. A fire alarm. Smart move, we took the left door and head for the adjacent dorm. The front door was locked, so we walk over to the side door. I said it probably wouldn’t be open, but he tried it anyways. It works. He held the door open for a moment and looked at me. We noticed what was written on the INSIDE of the door;
“Warning, fire escape door. Exit only. With opening of door, alarm will sound.”
We look at each other with awe and wonderment and heard something. [machine produced alarm sounds] My brother asked me, “What is the campus police response time?” I started running. He gets the picture and joins! We run down steps, hop over fences, and run across lawns. (the campus is deserted for summer) We didn’t stop until we were off campus.
Resigning ourselves to the fact that we weren’t going to see the fireworks from an optimal location, we head back to the Church, this time with our own stuff. With proper gear, we climb onto the roof of the Church, and started preparing our adventure. On this particular night, first Friday, the Church is open all night and there is always someone in there. So there we are, raining down fire and brimstone with little firecrackers from the roof of our Church. My brother lights, I throw. We avoided visual detection, by lying prone and rolling out of view commando style whenever needed. We had the idea for a grand finale, to pile the rest of them onto each other and touch all the fuses together. My brother lights and jumps onto his back. PapapaPOP! During the chaos, a live one with its fuse still burning flies of its own accord right toward me. I couldn’t move out of fear, and was showered in sparks. The effect was that of a mini-baby flashbang. Someone came out of the building next door to check out the situation, but didn’t suspect to look on the roof. We quickly and stealthily depart the area. In the greater interest of our own security, we decided to take an alternate and longer route home.
Some blocks away, upon passing a construction site of a rather large new house, we spy a good deal of still-good-plywood in a dumpster. This house is on a busy intersection, and it was dark but the wood looked extremely tempting. We had several projects which required that exact type of wood, and being the cheap scum we are, we waited there until there was no one there. Leaping over the boundary fence, two feet high, my brother grabs a piece and we quickly leave. A block away we notice that this piece is warped. We set it down in a dark corner and head back. After some more waiting for traffic to lighten up, we spot the perfect piece. We grab that one too, and carry the two ten feet long pieces home together. It’s well after dark by the time we get home. We get home and count our blessings, that we didn’t get arrested in any occasion.
For those of you who simply skip to the bottom of posts, shame on you. 
Happy Independence Day! (only to those it concerns, of course)
Mayhaps.

Craps, I'm an old man!
