Anyone else here love fire: any DU pyros?

Hopefully, not the setting fires type...

When I was a kid, I loved playing with fire soooo much. When I was about seven, I was making my own virtual napalm from bread bags when a large portion of the material dripped from the stick and onto my thigh giving me 3rd degree burns.

Even that didn't cure me. My dad was a volunteer fireman, so I often got to ride to fires. There is something very primal (maybe even sensual) about watching really intense flames.

4. My husband was fascinated by fire.

For Father's Day, a few years ago, I bought him a firepit for the backyard. He was the only person I knew who would build a fire in 30 degree weather and sit outside for hours, watching the flames.

9. BabyG has picked up the wonder too...so no more matches in the

house after I came out of the bedroom one day and smelled sulpher and saw an entire book of matches burnt in the sink. It is scary.

11. I returned home from the grocery store one day to find

him and a friend trying to light the aerosol spray of Axe on fire.

On the other side of the wall where he was doing this sat the generator. Filled with gas. His grandfather, sisters and dog were in the house.

I about shit myself.

No matches here either.

6. A bonfire is the antidote to TV

It brings together community in a way that requires interaction with each other.
A group of people sitting around a fire is more likely to entertain itself rather than being passively entertained like a television does.

7. Present.

I had a blast (sometimes literally) teaching high-school chem and physics. What are those fume hoods for, if you're not gonna blow shit up? Nitrogen triiodide, gunpowder, thermite...I did it all. And safely.

10. Well, to put it one way,

I make my living off it in a way: http://www.fireworksland.com
