I would not want to disappoint any of you, but now a days the kids

burn something else in the can and use straws to suck out the

" -beep " , " - beep " , " - beep " , " -beep " , " - beep " , and the " - beep " ,

times have changed you know, but the lowly can is still a useful

thing.

> A variation of this was on the 4'th of July or New Year's Eve when

firecrackers were allowed we (us kids) would get an emtied tin can.

Make sure the top was completely open. Punch a small nail hole in

the bottom middle of the can. Stick the fuse of the firecracker

through the nail hole. Invert the can on the ground. Light the

firecracker fuse & run like mad. then watch the resulting launching

of the can into the air from the explosion.

the can & knock it over to be able to reuse the can.

I've never seen a firefly, we dont have them in Portland, but the

Monarch Butterflies use to migrate through town every year, it was

quite a site and i miss it very much, i think 1982 or 1983 was one of

the last years i have ever seen them.

We raise parsley just for the eastern swallowtail butterfly's caterpillar and see more and more of them each year. We also plant several kind of flowers that butterflys like and that has helped increase the numbers.
