I remember ...

when I was a kid, and we lived in Cromwell, Connecticut, of all places, there was an annual event just after dusk on an early summer evening. It seemed like it happened right outside my bedroom window. I was probably 5 when I first noticed it. It was a pea shooter fight, a big one. The next morning us littler kids would come out, and we would marvel at the sheer number of hard little white peas all over the intersection. Of course, the intersection and the streets were nowhere near as traveled as they are now. It was quite different then.

So, take a look...
