I remember at age 7 and up playing with fireworks, estes rockets, black gun powder all unsupervised, never blew myself up or caught the fields on fire. We had a steel cannon that my brother made in metal shop that used black powder and packed a punch. Did anyone else make tennis ball cannons with tin cans, duct tape and lighter fluid? Ah the good old days. I would hate to be a child in this modern day.
And yes sadly I had pin striped bell bottoms at one point, that I don't miss.
