1990s (Remember)

I remember back in the day when they came. The erosion prone road was placed. Trees where cut and hauled away and then the nosies came. Blasts shook the home and Granny would run out the screen door just a cusin' like a bat out of hell. Sometimes if the blasts where particularly scary she would run outside with the snub nosed .38 and shoot off a couple of rounds just to let those poor boys know that if any of those gravity stricken boulders came off that mountain and didn't kill us, she would surely kill them. Of course as a child I thought it was pretty cool to have the house shake because for some reason I was told that God was bowling on top of the mountain. Also, Ghost Busters came to mind as well. One things for sure, regardless of what I was told, the salamanders sure didn't like it when the mineral rights were sold.
