I was always doing something with fire when I was young. poured a couple gallons of Dadâs mower gas down a storm drain in the back ally and tossed a match in. Pretty flames shot out of that man hole and the next couple down the ally! Another time, made rocket fuel on Momâs stove. Melted saltpeter and sugar in a tin can (The old kind, with soldered seams and ends.) on the burner. Solder melted! Ruined stove, burned wall paper behind the stove, burned âpopcornâ off spot on ceiling, spilled on floor and burned carpet, filled house with smoke!
Worst Iâve ever done was prying open our Big Ben alarm clock to see âwhat made it tickâ. The spring sprung out, the clock was ruined, but my parents were OK with it, because I was curious. I was worried there for a while though. NoâŠworst was siphoning gas from a farmerâs tank, curious to see how a siphon works. Was burping up gas fumes all night. A big mistake. Dad was mad because I was stealing gas.
We have a 300 foot long driveway. When we had the house built, I wanted to have center-line lighting installed with sequencing flashes rolling towards the garage (itâs called a ârabbitâ). My wife nixed the idea: too close to the airport.
One summer, it was my job to water the front lawn. I would sit on the porch with the hose sprayer and make sure the whole lawn was covered. Then Iâd spell out âTOMâ a couple times. (Tentoes would not have fit) Sure enough! Before long you could read my name in the grass. Dad thought it was clever. Mom was not amused. The next year Dad watered the front lawn.
I have lots of lawn, and passenger airplanes from two airports often fly over at a low altitude. Iâve been really tempted to write âHiâ with fertilizer more than once. The elderly neighbors called in a panic, once, because theyâd heard a huge explosive noise on their roof. I went over. No damage, thank heavens, so I doubted it was a meteorite. My guess was blue ice, aka a poopcicle, from one of those planes.

Maybe he was planning to write âWelcome toâ and then write the wrong city name just to confuse pilots and passengers.

True story: When Marlon Brando was a schoolboy he wrote the word âsh**â on the blackboard in kerosene and set it on fire!

At least he asked, my brothers would have just done it. They once made rag balls, set them alight and played catch over the top of the house.

As kids we wrote big words in the snow at winter time. Only trouble was the path from the words led to home. Boy oh boy my father was not happy.

Our family house was right in the landing pattern of the local airport. We waved at the pilots as they came and went.

Calvin just asking for a can of gas is reason enough for his father to say âNo!â
