there's a little devil hiding in each and every one of us, even the nicest looking fellows
I'm not sure whether or not VEFF caught my reference...

Edit to add: Doh!
I didn't see that VEFF edited his post a day later and caught on to my evil game...
Mostly I burned dry oak leaves. They burned well and had sweet smelling smoke. I also melted the tar on the road, and on one or two occassions did torment some ants...
I think we burned a few leaves too.
I believe newspapers were a favorite, but it was so long ago.
Thanks for the other memories it just evoked as I typed this reply. The good ol' days lol, not that things are bad now, but I think one's youth has certain special moments that you'll never quite experience later in "real" life.
I don't live in the past, so I hadn't thought about my youth in ages quite frankly.
