______________________________
MONDAY, JULY 4TH, 1960
Being it was the 4th of July holiday, Al Coyote had off from work at Horizon Innovations that day, and the cubs were looking forward to lighting fireworks...However, the morning did start off a bit cloudy with rain.  
Shortly after everyone had breakfast that morning, Rex mentioned, "Gee, I hope this pookey ole rain doesn't mess up 4th of July for us".
"Yea, we wanna lite off some firecrackers tonight", little six year old Donna added.
"They predict the rain to let off at times through out the day", Daddy Al assured the cubs.
"Most of it is suppose to be drizzle later on", Jed added.
"That's what I've heard", Al agreed.
Jed being the oldest cub had kept up with the weather report on a portable transistor radio he has.
Mama Marge suggested, "Being that it's raining right now, the cubs can't go outside and play. This would be a good time to go to the fireworks outlet at William Weasel's Stop and Shop".
"Good thinking", Al agreed as the cubs were excited about going to get some fireworks to celebrate the 4th.
"Can we get some blockbusters?!", Rex exclaimed as Jed and Donna cheered.
"I'm okay with that as long as you listen to us about how to use them", Marge answered Rex.
"That's right", Al added. "Those are strong enough to blow buckets and mailboxes into pieces. So you know what they can do to your paws".
"Are those even legal?", Clarence asked in almost unbelief.
"Why would't they be?", Al asked Clarence.
Clarence replied, "I know that in 2018 where I'm from, you can have the firecrackers that are on a long string..."
"Oh, those little Chinese firecrackers", Jed interjected.
"Yea", Clarence continued. "But you couldn't have anything strong enough to blow stuff to pieces".
"That's a bummer", Rex replied.
"Well, this isn't 2018", Al assured much to Clarence's delight. "This is 1960, and the big stuff is still okay".
"Just pay attention to us about how to use them", Marge said.
"It's being stupid with them that gets someone hurt", Al said.
Jed mentioned, "Biff Pitbull and his brother Richie would be sticking lit blockbusters in mailboxes tonight if they weren't in jail right now".
"Yea, and I heard Richie had to go to the emergency room last year with that spark in his eye because him and Biff got drunk and were throwing lit cherry bombs at each other", Rex said.
"Don't you cubs be doing any of that", Marge said.
"Those two, along with that other clown Gaston, would be riding up and down the highways in their Dad's Cadillac celebrating the 4th with a 5th", Al added. "Besides that, it didn't take too many smarts to get caught pulling the school fire alarm like they did".
"Well, so much for those three loosers", Marge said, then asked Al, "When do you want to go the fireworks".
"The rain seems to be letting up", Al mentioned. "When there's a break, we get to the car and go".
Within several minutes, the rain let up enough for everyone to step out of the house and get into the car...Then they were off to William Weasel's Stop and Shop to get some fireworks.
William Weasel's Stop and Shop was south of Corona, thus the fireworks run was south on Highway 54. Being that the family car was a 1960 Chrysler 300 designed for performance driving, the trip getting there was not that 'float on air' ride associated with most big cars. But just the same, the car still did ride nice and had the power suitable for high speed cruising.  
As they rode past Jerald and Cindy's place, Marge mentioned upon noticing their old '52 Pontiac not being there, "I wanted to drop by to see Jerald and Cindy, but it looks like they're not at home".
"They might be out all day for all we know", Al said as he continued driving along Highway 54 through the light rain with the car's windshield wipers going.
Thirty-five minutes later, and after passing through Corona, they arrived to William Weasel's Stop and Shop as the rain had stopped for now.
"Here we are", Marge said to the cubs as Al drove the car into the gravel parking lot of William Weasel's Stop 'n' Shop.
The store and surrounding complex was almost like that of the Flying-J and T/A travel centers known in the 21st century, except it was a homespun local version of a travel center.
 "There's Jerald and Cindy", Jed mentioned as he noticed them purchasing fireworks at the utility building off to the side.
The fireworks building was an open front, ramshackle store that had plywood exterior, painted red and white, and had a black, yellow and red sign reading, "Wild Willy Weasel's Fireworks"...It even had a 20 foot long, tin,  three dimemsional mock-up of a rocket attached 10 feet above the building.
"I wouldn't mind lighting that one", Donna jested as everyone got a good laugh, referring to the 20 foot rocket mock-up above the building.
"That's just a fake", Rex said to Donna.
"I know", said Donna. "But if it was real, I'd send it to the moon".
After the family left the car and made their way to the fireworks store, they greeted Jerald and Cindy.
"We passed by your place, and noticed your car wasn't there", Marge said to them.
"Oh, Hello", Jerald responded. "Cindy and I are getting ready for the 4th tonight".
"We're gonna get some cool stuff too", Rex proclaimed to Jerald and Cindy.
"William Weasel has probably the best fireworks in all of New Mexico here", Al mentioned.
"Oh, without a doubt", Jerald replied.
As for Jerald and Cindy; Jerald was picking out stuff such as blockbusters which was equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite, and rockets that fly up and explode with a loud bang. Cindy was picking out the kind of rockets that fly up and explode into beautiful starbursts of brilliant colours, and rockets that burst into dazzling sparkles. Cindy also picked out some lotus flowers.
The cubs picked out strings of Chinese firecrackers (1,000 on a fuse string), M-80s, cherry bombs, blockbusters, sky rockets, Roman candles, whistlers, bottle rockets (big ones and the smaller ones that come 100 to a pack), sparklers, smoke balls, lotus flowers and flying whirly wheels.
"Wow...This stuff's pretty wild", Clarence said, being surprised to see such large fireworks offered for public sale.
"That's why it's called Wild Willy Weasel's", Donna said to Clarence.
Al replied with a smile to Clarence in a low tone as to not be overheard, "I told you this is 1960 and not 2018".
Clarence had seen smaller fireworks sold to the public in the 21st century. But he never thought in his wildest dreams he'd ever see such large home fireworks like what the store in the year 1960 had for sale.
After the fireworks purchases were made, the rain was coming back a bit heavy for a while. Thus, Al, Marge and the cubs, along with Jerald and Cindy, made a dash to the Stop 'n' Shop store before the rain got any worse. Inside was a deli and an area that had dine-in tables and chairs. While waiting for the rain to let back up, Al, Marge, Jerald and Cindy had coffee, while the cubs had ice cream.              
Thirty minutes later, the rain let up to not much more than a drizzle.
"This looks like a good time to get to the car", Marge said as everyone agreed and began to leave.
"We'll see you later", Al said to Jerald and Cindy as everyone was walking out of the Stop 'n' Shop store.
Cindy replied, "We're stopping by Jerald's parent's house tonight after we visit my mom and dad".
"So your lightin' off fireworks with us?", Rex asked Jerald, as everyone began making their way across the gravel parking lot to their cars.
"Some of them", Jerald answered. "We also got these smaller ones for Scotty to light off".
"My mom and dad never did let my brother and I light the big stuff", Cindy said. "Being that Scotty is still a cub living at home, Mom and Dad's rules still apply to him".
"Your mom and dad's rules must of became a law in my day and time", Clarence said to Cindy.
"How is that, sport?", Jerald asked Clarence.
"In my day and time, no one can have the big stuff", Clarence replied.
"Aww, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it", Cindy replied.
"They'll be a bunch a laws or something against it by then?", Jerald asked.
"According to what Clarence told us, there will be within the next 50 years", Al affirmed.
Just before they were about to get to their cars, a green, 1955, two door, Chevy station wagon came rolling in on the gravel parking lot.
"Your Mom and Dad's here", Cindy said to Jerald.
Along with Frank and Wanda were Jerald's teenage sister Dotty, and cub sister Cheryl.
"You almost missed us, Frank", Al said as Frank was parking the car (Car wasn't equipped with A/C, thus the windows were partly down).
"I see you all were just leaving", Frank replied as he and the others were exiting the car. "Wanda and I thought we'd drop by and let Cindy and Cheryl pick out some fireworks for tonight".
"We gotta whole bunch of 'em", Rex declared as he and the siblings greeted Dotty and Cheryl.
"We'll see you back at the neighborhood", Al said to Frank and Wanda as he, Marge and the cubs began to leave to go back home.
"Catch you later, Al. Marge", Frank replied.
Jerald and Cindy chose to remain at the store a while longer to socialize with Jerald's parents and sisters before heading out to Vaughn to visit Cindy's parents and cub brother Scotty.
Back at the house, Al and Marge let the cubs watch television a while being that more rain had set in.
"I hope this pookey ole rain doesn't stay around tonight", Rex mentioned.
"We can always lite off the fireworks at the times the rain lets up", Al assured Rex.
"If we had no more rain, you'll wish we did have some", Marge told Rex.
"Your mom is right, Son. Life on the planet wouldn't be around without it", Al added.
During the times when the rain let up, the cubs were allowed to go outside and play...However, that was with the stipulation of coming back into the house when another wave of rain came...At least there wasn't the risk of being struck by lightning as this particular weather system didn't have any.
After lunchtime, the Mr. Softee ice cream truck came through the neighborhood.
https://youtu.be/WsCDGY8e0P8?t=5
Because of the weather, the ice cream vendor's business wasn't particularly good for that day as the labrador who drives the truck had figured. Most cubs were inside at home playing or watching TV. And what few cubs who were out in the neighborhood had to begin coming back to their homes because more rain was on the way. Al and Marge's cubs had ice cream earlier at William Weasel's Stop 'n' Shop, so there was no reason for them to get anything from the ice cream truck.
So without making any sales, the Mr. Softee ice cream truck left the neighborhood with the music still playing as a wave of heavy rain began pouring down...and with the truck's headlights and windshield wipers going.
Later in the day, much of the rain had stopped for a good while, although there was an occasional shower now and then. Thus, most of the neighborhood cubs were outside playing...some of whom were already occasionally setting off fireworks, with parental supervision of course.
Shortly before 10:00 pm, Jerald and Cindy arrived to Frank and Wanda's house.
As Frank and Wanda greeted their son and daughter-in-law Jerald and Cindy, Clarence came to the house and informed Al and Marge, "Mom. Dad. Jerald and Cindy are here!".
"Go get the fireworks", Al said to the cubs as the cubs cheered.
With the bags of fireworks in paw, Al, Marge and the cubs walked over to Frank and Wanda's house to meet them and the others as fireworks going off could already be seen and heard throughout the neighborhood.
"Did Scotty like the fireworks?", Jed asked Jerald and Cindy, as a nearby rocket took off with a loud screaming...>WEEEEEEEEEEE<>BANG< .
"Good one", said Frank.
"He was thrilled with them", Jerald answered as a string of Chinese firecrackers could be heard popping a block away.
"We all had lots of fun at my mom and dad's place", Cindy added.
"And we're ready to have fun now", Rex cheerfully proclaimed, holding a bag full of fireworks up as everyone chuckled.
"I see you are", Frank replied to Rex.
Needless to say, before the cubs were allowed to light off the fireworks, Al and Marge insisted on providing the required adult supervision as they always had done on holidays that involve fireworks. And Al gave explicit safety instructions to the cubs about the proper way to set them off, including most importantly, do not hold in paw while lighting (sparklers being the only exception). And "A dud isn't always a dud". Al told the cubs if something fails to go off, stay away from it for a while. And don't lite sky rockets pointed to where they'd fall on a house or on someone...After all, some of that stuff was capable of blowing steel mailboxes and steel pails into pieces.
Frank and Wanda gave Cheryl pretty much the same instructions...Because Dotty was older, she already knew of the stupid things to avoid doing.
Once the cubs acknowledged an understanding of the safety instructions, Jed and Rex started off with launching those small bottle rockets that shoot upward and pop, which come 100 to a pack.
By this time, the neighborhood was really getting it going on with the fireworks.
"Here's some noise everybody!", Donna said, as she lit a few popping whistlers that sounded off >WEEEEOOOOOOO POP WOOOOOO POP WOOOOOOOO POP<.      
Cheryl lit off a Roman Candle that whistled and shot off different colour fireballs.
"What's this do?", Clarence asked as he held up a 4 inch diameter, aluminum wheel with fins and a small rocket motor off to the side.
"That's whirly wheel. It spins and flies up like a helicopter", Rex answered Clarence, as firecrackers and a few M-80s could be heard going off in the neighborhood.
As some smoke balls and cherry bombs were going off up the street, Clarence lit the whirly wheel, but it only went spinning across the street in every direction.
"I don't think that worked right", Clarence said, as several sky rockets went up a few blocks away and exploded into their dazzling colours.
"You have to peel the paper label off it first", Rex said to Clarence.
Clarence then peeled the label off another whirly wheel, set it on the street, then lit it. The whirly wheel went spinning skyward, going >whizzzzzzz< and making a ring of sparks much to Clarence's delight.
Their street, as many streets in the neighborhood were, was a back street with little traffic, and cars generally went no faster than 15 to 20 mph, thus were ideal for setting fireworks off of as long as it was known no cars were coming.
Randy Fox called from 200 feet down the street,  "Wanna see some real noise?".
Randy lit two M-80s taped together...>BANG< they sounded off.
Al said to Jed, "Son. Get a blockbuster and show Randy something really noisy".
"Awright!", Jed exclaimed as he got a blockbuster out, set it on the street after making sure no cars were coming, and prepared to light it.
"You better run like Hell when you light it", Frank said.
"Believe me. I will", Jed replied as he lit the fuse, then haul-ass ran from it.
>BOOM< the blockbuster exploded and sent an echo through the neighborhood.
https://youtu.be/zAs2HpbxNPI?t=18
"Wow! A blockbuster!", Randy Fox called out.
Jerald and Cindy sent up the sky rockets they had bought...Jerald's sky rockets being the kind that exploded into sparkles with a very loud blast report...And Cindy's sky rockets were the kind that exploded into beautiful starbursts of colours with whistling sounds.
Rex lit a blockbuster placed under a two cubic foot carbboard box (size of a liquor store box)...and >BOOM<, the box was blown into confetti.
"Wow! Wasted that box", Jed proclaimed as everyone laughed.
"Wanna try one?", Rex asked Clarence.
"Well, I don't know", Clarence timidly replied.
Clarence seem a bit scared of the blockbusters, but he did get up the nerve to try some M-80s.
Clarence checked for cars coming, set the M-80 on the street, lit it with one of the Zippo refillable lighters everyone was using, then haul-ass ran from it while dropping the lighter ...>BANG< went the M-80.
"Wow! Cool! I never lit anything like this before", Clarence declared after he lit his first one.
Donna set a blockbuster on the street, lit it and haul-ass ran from it... >BOOM< the blockbuster went off, making Clarence's M-80 seem like a Chinese firecracker by comparison.
"Seeee, Clarence? There's nothing to it", Donna teased Clarence, as fireworks continued going off in the neighborhood.
Being showed down like that by little sister Donna finally did get Clarence to try lighting a blockbuster.
"I wanna try one of those", Clarence got up the nerve to ask.
Jed set a blockbuster out on the street for Clarence, and when Clarence went to light it, he was so nervous he kept jerking the Zippo lighter away from the fuse before it would light.
"Don't be be afraid of it, Son", Al coached Clarence, as fireworks continued going off throughout the neighborhood.
"It's not gonna bite ya", Jed said, as Clarence continued getting up the nerve to hold the Zippo lighter on the fuse long enough for it to lite.
"BANG!", Rex shouted, scaring Clarence so bad, he jumped back and fell back on his ass.
"REX!", Al reprimanded his younger son. "Don't you ever let me see you do that again! That was very dangerous and can get someone hurt! What if that was already lit when you did that?".
"Uh...I'm sorry, Dad", Rex replied, "I guess I wasn't thinking about that".
"You need to start using some common sense", Marge said to Rex.
Clarence got back up and went for it again, and this time the fuse finally went >shzzzz<...As Clarence haul-ass ran from the blockbuster, he just simply dropped the lighter and left it like he did with the M-80s.  >BOOM< went the very first blockbuster Clarence had ever lit.
 "Wow!...That was cool!, Clarence proclaimed.
Al did mention to Clarence, "You don't have to keep dropping the lighter every time. Just take it with you".
Dotty lit a cherry bomb placed under an empty 15 ounce bean can.....>BANG< the cherry bomb blew the can into five pieces, with a piece of the can folded around on itself.
Frank said, "I got some garden sulphur in the garage", as he went to the garage get a gallon of it.
While Frank was getting the sulfur, Marge and Wanda sent up some sky rockets that exploded into beautiful colours...and some with big bangs.
When Frank returned with the sulfur, he was about to place an M-80 in the mound of it when Al said, "Frank. Why not put a blockbuster in it?"
"Good idea, Al", Frank replied, then said to Wanda, "Honey, give me a blockbuster. And a cigarette".
"This is going to be good", Jerald said as his dad placed the blockbuster into the mound of sulfur, then placed the lit cigarette across the fuse...Because Frank can't run due to a past work related leg injury, he had to use the lit cigarette as extra fuse time.
As every stood back and watched, as the neighborhood fireworks continued, the cigarette finally burned down to the fuse and lit it.
"Here it goes", Frank said as everyone could see the fuse sparkling.
 >BOOM<the sulphur blasted into a huge, calbolt and amber fireball flash.
"Wow!", Clarence exclaimed.
"I bet you never seen that before", Al said to Clarence.
"Not until now, Dad", Clarence replied.
Rex got one of his older toy trucks that was already a bit ragged, and taped a sky rocket to the bed of it.
"This truck is gonna try to set the world speed record", Rex proclaimed as he lit the fuse and ran back from it.
>Fissshhuuuu< the rocket fired off sending the toy truck speeding down the street.
As the toy truck took off speeding at nearly 30 mph, Jed said, "Cool, Rex. A rocket powered truck".
Then >Krac-kackle-krac-pop-pop-pop-krackle< the rocket bursted into an array of sparkles....Rex knew not to use a rocket with a blast charge...After all, he didn't want to blow the toy truck up.
Everyone then had fun lighting off sky rockets. Many of them had exploded into brilliant colours. Some had blast charges that would send echos through the neighborhood. Some had sparkle loads like the one that powered Rex's toy truck. And some were screamers. Clarence Coyote had seen fairgrounds send up commercial fireworks in the 21st century. But he never thought in his wildest dreams he would ever in his lifetime be actually lighting the fireworks like what was being set off in the neighborhood that 4th of July night...This was the one and only time in Clarence's lifetime he had the thrill of setting off the fireworks that he couldn't even possess in the year 2018.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_YNjT8ZmN8
"I feel some rain drops", said Marge.
"So do I", Jerald affirmed.
Everyone gathered up the fireworks and retreated to Frank and Wanda's house as it began raining. That was also when the fireworks throughout the neighborhood subsided as others took retreat from the rain.
However, the rain lasted for only about seven minutes. Then everyone went back outside to continue lighting off fireworks, as the setting off of fireworks also resumed throughout the rest of the neighborhood.  
Al went back to the house where he, Marge and their cubs reside, then returned a few minutes later with an old worn out tire he had been keeping behind the garage that he never got around to getting rid of.
"Who wants to see a tire get a blowout?", Al jested as the cubs cheered.
Al set a blockbuster in the tire, lit it, and ran back away form it...>BOOM< a hole was blown through the tire big enough to put a loaf of bread through.
"If there were mosquitoes in that tire, I bet that woke 'em up", Frank said.
"Or killed them", Al replied.
"Can I try one?", Clarence asked, as several sky rockets went up a block away.
"Sure. Go for it", Al said.
By now, Clarence had enough confidence not to be so scared of the blockbuster. Clarence set one in the tire, lit it, and ran from it...>BOOM< another bread loaf size hole in the tire.
"It's not everyday you see one tire with two blowouts", Frank said as everyone laughed.
The tire was a polyester bias-ply which was common back in the day (not a steel belted radial), thus there were no concerns of steel belt fragments flying like tiny bullets.
Everyone then took a turn blowing holes in the old tire with blockbusters.
Al eventually said, "That old tire's beginning to look less like a tire, and more like a fragment of a fish net".
Jerald attached four sky rockets facing around in the same direction to an old bent bicycle wheel that had no tire.
"Whatcha gonna do, Son", Frank asked Jerald.
"Rocket powered bike wheel, Dad", Jerald replied as Frank laughed. "I'm sending down Route Three".
"Just make sure no cars are coming", Frank advised Jerald.
As Jerald carried his rocket powered bike wheel to the intersection of Route 3, everyone followed to go watch.
No cars were coming, so as Jerald aimed the wheel westbound down the road, then said, "I'm going to need some others to help me lite the rockets all at the same time".
Thus, Al, Clarence, and Jed lit three of the rockets as Jerald lit the forth one. Then Jerald gave the wheel a brisk rolling shove. As the wheel rolled and stayed upright, the four attached sky rockets fired off with  screaming sounds of >WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<...Everyone laughed as the rocket powered bike wheel went into a rapid spin against the pavement, then sped down Route 3 lighting up the night in a starburst hail of fire and sparks.
  "Hey! The wheel forgot it's bicycle!", Rex exclaimed as everyone busted out in laughter, and as the flaming bike wheel got up to 40 mph down the road.
Then >POW< in a briliant wall of colours across Route 3, >POP POP POP WEEEEEEEEOOOOOO<, then  >BANG BOOM< with colours and sparkles flying everywhere on the road.
As everyone headed out to check on the wheel, Jerald said, "I bet that wheel has had it".
"I wouldn't doubt it", Frank replied.
As everyone walked down Route 3 to go get the wheel, sky rockets could be seen at a far distance away in the rural areas to the west...Some as far as several miles away on the night horizon...Looking behind, fireworks could be seen and heard going off in the neighborhood in Duran.
  The wheel had traveled nearly 1,000 feet down the road...almost a quarter mile away. It took several minutes for everyone to walk up to where the wheel had stopped.
"Wow! Look what happened to that wheel", Jed said as everyone finally approached it.
"It [really[/i] got toasted", Clarence said.
Half the spokes were blown out of the wheel, with some of the remaining spokes looking like spaghetti. And a section of the rim was actually blown apart by the blast from one of the rockets.
"That wheel's seen better days", Al said as everyone agreed.
After Jerald picked up what was left of the bike wheel, everyone headed back to the neighborhood as a slight drizzle set in...However, being the drizzle was so slight, upon returning to the neighborhood, the weather presented no obstacle to everyone from lighting off the rest of the fireworks they had.
It was certainly a fun time for everyone that night.

Later that night, while the family was gathered in the living room, Al asked Clarence the names of his biological parents.
"Charley is my dad", Clarence answered. "And my mom's name is Alice".
When Clarence asked why Al had asked, Marge said to Clarence, "We would like to meet your mom and dad someday...It would be way into the future for us anyway".
"That would be so neat", Jed, proclaimed.
"We'll be grown ups by then", Rex added.
"You all might have grand cubs by then", Marge replied to Rex.
Al mentioned, "Well, hopefully, the professor, Poindexter and the others can get that time machine running again".
"I have confidence in them they will", Marge replied.
Donna, mentioned, "I'm gonna miss Clarence when he goes away?".
Marge answered her daughter, "He belongs back with his own family where he came from. But you'll get to meet him again in the future".
Al then figured, and said to Marge, "Sometime about in the year 2000, or shortly after...That's when we can find an opportunity to get acquainted with Alice and Charley".
"Mom and Dad are still teenagers in 2000", Clarence said.
"Then a little later perhaps", Al replied.
"Provided we'll live to be that old. You and I will be in our 70s after the year 2000", Marge mentioned, then reminded Al, "But I wouldn't goof everything up by starting to talk to them about time machines before they really got to know us well".
"Oh definitely not", Al agreed, then asked Clarence, "Oh, your address. At the time you left 2018, how long have your orriginal parents been at the location where you once showed me that field south of Vaughn?".
"They've always had that place since they got married", Clarence answered. "Mom and Dad told me so".
"When we see a house being built there sometime after 2000, we'll know it's them", Marge said.
"Actually, it's gonna be a double wide", Clarence said.
"Doublewide?", Marge pondered.
"Clarence told me it's where they put two house trailer sections together to make a house", Al explained to Marge.
"Interesting concept", Marge replied.
Then Clarence thought of something and asked, "Uh...you're not gonna tell my mom and dad - my actual mom and dad that is - about when Jed and Rex and me bought the Lucky Strike cigarettes, and the time we made the record player do chipmunks, are you?".
Al, Marge and the cubs chuckled, then Al assured Clarence, "Those issues were already dealt with. Your actual mom and dad doesn't need to know about those things....Okay?".
"Okay", Clarence gleefully replied. "I sure don't want to get paddled again in 2018 for smoking and spinning the record player".
"If they find out, we can always tell them you did those things before they were even born", Marge assured Clarence as everyone got a good laugh.  
With the future acquaintance Al and Marge Coyote had now planned with Charley and Alice Coyote, that would prove to be yet another a slight alteration in the time-event continual, whereas by the year 2018, Al, Marge and their cubs (Jed, Rex and Donna possibly being grand parents by then) will have known Charley and Alice going on 15 years...Otherwise, had it not been for Clarence's journey to 1960, it would have yet to be that the the two families would never become acquainted.

It is about a few articles of fireworks accidents and drunk driving accidents that appeared in the July 5th addition of the newspaper the characters in this story read.
While the stories in the addendum are fiction, they do depict real life injury and death... That is why the addendum is in a link separate from this main G rated part the story.
