Now to the felon thing. Over the weekend, four kids (ages 17-21) got arrested and charged with a felony for making a sparkler bomb and setting it off in an empty field on private property (read news story here) in Farmington. If you don't know what a sparkler bomb is, it is when you tape a bunch of sparklers together with duct tape or electrical tape and light them. It makes a loud explosion. You can search it on youtube and find hundreds of videos of it (you might even find one of me and another guy(who I won't name since we might be felons)). I can't tell you how many times I have made these. I think it is ridiculous that they would be charged with a felony. I think the Farmington police are being stupid like small town police can be and I hope the prosecutor does not follow through with the charges.

We are pretty sure that one of the young men who are accused is the son of some people in our church. I feel bad for them, but whether or not its a felony, it's still not a good idea to make one of these things.
I don't think young kids should make them but I don't see it as any big deal. They are a lot less powerful than the big fireworks that they sell to anyone. They did it in a big field on private property. As long as it is not where they can hurt anyone else, I see no problem. If they get hurt it is their own problem.
Dear felon Josh,
Please do not teach this to Esther, however, next time we come for a visit, please teach me.
Love, Tina Turner
PS, Ike wants to watch.
Yep. Wet my pants over Kathy's comment.
