Man Hold Up!  —  A Texas teen may lose his eyesight after a homemade sparkler bomb explodes in his face.  The incident happened over the weekend at a home in the tiny coastal town of Sargent.  Authorities say the boy, 15-year-old Rowdy Radford, wrapped 180 sparklers in electrical tape and lit a homemade fuse, but the device exploded prematurely, sending debris into Rowdy’s face and eyes.  The teen is hospitalized in Houston with part of his left leg amputated and several fingers missing.  Doctors say he has a 50-percent chance of losing his eyesight.
