One thing this guy likes is rockets. (Yes, I think I will use any form of grammar I choose cause this ain’t for a grade. And also cause there ain’t no spellcheck on this here blog mochine and I am worthless without spellcheck.) Anyhow, I like rockets.

According to the little dictionary on my laptop, sulfur is, “the material of which hellfire and lightning were believed to consist.” Yeah! Hellfire and lightning! Well, if that don’t blow the sawdust out of your cranial cavity, I’m not sure what will. Whew, just thinking about a good blast of rocket motor clears my sinuses. It’s invigorating, man. Well this here part of this blog page thing is dedicated to man and woman’s most exhilarating and deeply satisfying accomplishment since the invention of steak. I’m talkin’ about hellfire and lightning. I’m talkin rockets. I’ll be posting them here as I get a chance. Hey, relax, I’ll get a chance when I have a little free time. Anyhow, here’s the first one,
