I thought you guys mike like this snippet...

from a Confederate diary I picked up.

June 10th 1863

Some picket firing along our lines one man in the 22nd N.G. wounded while fooling with an old bombshell all quiet in the afternoon.

I haven't bothered looking up the guy yet but I am sure I will find out who he is.

Some people just like that adrenaline rush!  It's kind of like a job interview:  only the smart will survive.
Best,
