Do You Remember The First Time?

For me it started with cap guns and cap rockets. Black Cats! I remember buying those things one at a time from other kids at school… Things like cherry bombs were out of my reach in those days.
This reminds me that I got a big grocery bag full of empty shells under my reloading bench, if I can get back to it.

Like gunpowder. there are a few other things that once you've smelled them you will likely never forget. One that I'll always remember and every once in a while, even today, sense the smell again is napalm. Naplam was first used during WWII mainly in flamethrowers but around 1964 a new formula, Naplam-B, was conceived to ignite more easily and to burn longer. During Vietnam over 388,000 tons of napalm was dropped over Indochina between 1963 and 1973.
Like the old line from the Apocalypse Now movie in 1979
“I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like victory.”

It was a girl named...ooops, wrong first time, lol.
For real, it was also a cap gun for me. The smell of the powder and the noise had an allure to it . I was probably 4 or 5 years old.
I don’t understand these people that burn incense. I just throw some sulfurized cutting oil on any drill bit, then heat it up on a piece of steel.
Not quite as good, but still an old childhood memory is the smell of new tires.
How come the tires smelled so good, but the air coming out of them smelled really bad?

Well that too, lol.
