Today I Learned...

...that starting a fire is harder than I thought. No, dumping a whole box of matches onto it doesn't work, nor does numerous balls of paper when the wood isn't very dry. (the matches lighting at once was impressive, though) However, take an empty cereal box, fill it with wood, and then light that and it works out well. Then, getting to watch my boy roast hot dogs in my own backyard... Well, that was priceless, as the saying goes.
