   If you look at their logo “Amazon” you will notice that the curved arrow goes from “a” to “z”. That infers that they sell all items “from A to Z”.

   It looks like the third kid (looking left to right) is disobeying the sign!

   One day, my late brother and I decided to send a plastic model of an F-15 fighter jet streaking across our backyard.

   The only question was, how do we control it? We were familiar with model rocketry and came up with a novel solution. Instead of using a 3-foot vertical guide rod, we would use 150 feet of wire stretched tightly across the yard, tied to the fence!

   We made a harness that would cradle the model as it journeyed. We then gave it TWO Estes model rocket engines (I don’t remember the size) just to be sure.

   We fully expected to see the F-15 fly across the yard and coast to a stop by the time it reached the other side. We even dry-tested it to make sure. With great anticipation, we backed up, inserted the safety key on our hand-held controller, counted down, and pressed the launch button.

   This was in the days before YouTube, and I have always felt a (slight) pang of regret that we didn’t SOMEHOW capture what happened next for future generations to behold. Only one of the two rocket engines ignited, yet the F-15 shot forward like a hornet. It rotated on the harness after twenty or so feet down the wire, broke free, and flung itself skyward…where it exploded into a thousand pieces about thirty feet above the ground.

   We stood speechless as the fluttering pieces of plastic made their way down.

   As amateur pyromaniacs, that was the crowning achievement of our childhood.
