When we were kids, one summer my younger brother and I lived in a hick town in eastern Long Island with nothing there for kids to do, and all the time in the world on our hands. We spent a lot of time exploring and came across an old dilapidated firehouse. The FD kept their supplies there instead of in the newer firehouse, including boxes upon boxes upon boxes of 6' fluorescent bulbs. I can't imagine how many bulbs we broke doing lightsaber battles or javelin tosses, or how much toxic material we touched or inhaled. Kids!
