Green Lantern

[Tin-Can]

Being an aircraft electrician for over 40 years, I've always been hesitant to mix water and electricity. [crazy] But before the days of chemical light glow sticks and living in the deep south at the time, we used to dig a semi shallow hole up on the bank of the river, build a layer of rocks around the edge, put an old car tire down in the hole, soak it with gas, set it on fire just about sundown. Doubt the state EPA folks would appreciate that nowadays, but once the initial fire flare up from the gas died down, the tire, and any dried wood we found, burned bright enough to attract the big river Cats, (and the odd gator once or twice) and the tire smoke helped keep the skeeters away. Course the smoke smelled pretty bad, and we always went home stinking like a junk yard fire, but we almost always took a cooler full of healthy cats home for the next days fish fry.
