Our friends were hosting a Garage Sale for a house they recently purchased- full of the previous occupant's 'treasures'. While cleaning out the cellar, they found a large mortar (bazooka shell). Steve saw it sitting there and all agreed the police should be called. This is the follow up:

Yes, the round was/is live ~ it was taken to Naval Air Station Fallon to be blown up. I had only my cell phone, which isn't very good for this, as my camera was trapped in the house.  They'd only give us a minute to get our dog, Lily, out. We didn't even get the car, so we were stuck sitting around, a block away for most of the time.  Oh well.  I wish I had gotten a photo of the huge Douglas Co. bomb squad truck.
