Dump trucks are delivering that red construction sand to undeveloped lots next door. The boom is when all the load is dumped and the big 'tailgate"? slams closed.

At first I thought you were going to talk about that guy who set off 80 pounds of explosives for a gender reveal. I don’t know what state that was though. I hope you find out what that’s all about.

In the early to mid 1960's there were sonic booms quite often. All of the kids in neighborhood got a kick out of them. Our parents were probably concerned about plaster cracking. Probably about 20 percent of the neighborhood kids dads worked for McDonnell Aircraft and then Boeing. <br /><br />Now days I would jump and worry about who blew something up if there was a sonic boom. I haven't heard a sonic boom in a long time.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-20032685393519718042021-04-26T20:19:10.290-05:002021-04-26T20:19:10.290-05:00joeh,
