Most of my growin’ up was done in the late 70’s and early 80’s. We spent a lot of time playing sports, trading baseball cards or bothering the girls in our neighborhood. At times especially in the middle of the summer we simply ran out of fun things to do. “So do you wanna blow up this model airplane with some firecrackers?”. “Sounds good to me”. Yeah, lots of stuff like that.

But we never even thought of setting a house on fire! The two boys will actually be spending some time in jail and the families each have pledged $100,000 in restitution. My mom used to yell at us for some of the stuff we pulled, and to this day I’ve never spent a day in jail (well a full day that is)!
