When people used to say, " I wouldn't give one thin dime for that", I think this is what they were talking about. Silver is a much softer metal and coins wore away.

I’d be interested to see any cost savings. The way politics seems to work is potential savings turns into someone’s new house, or project, or bank account. If you could point out counter examples…

My brothers and I played with firecrackers starting when we about eight years old. We had a gravel pile around the yard so we would be put two or more tied together with the fuse push it into a hole in the gravel, light the fuse and stand back about 10 feet.

Occasionally we would have a lit one dropped on the ground. Heavy duty work boots and just stand on it.

Roman candles and sky rockets would be launched from a piece of angle iron pounded into the ground at a slight lean from straight up. For those, light the fuse and step back about 30 to 40 feet.

I was awake for 50 hours straight on the trip back one of the times, can't sleep on a plane or in a terminal, its kinda an awful trip. To be fair the last few hours of that was to watch a football game and hit 50 hours. I'm in the US. Never found a way to do it without an overnight layover in dubai or sri lanka (at least not affordably).LAX->Dubai->(sometimes)sri lanka->male->boat or sea plane to resort. For whatever reason, both times I went, the sri lanka stop was only on the trip there or the trip back, not both.

I've looked at Bora Bora instead but its more expensive, apparently has a ton of bugs (none in maldives), and looking at bad review of bora bora trips compared to bad review of maldives trips is comparing real complaints to Karens.
