1967...should be long gone. No seatbelt including car trip to relocate from AL to ME when I was a toddler and then again from ME to CO when 7.

No helmet on bike. No helmet and knee pads on skateboard. No sunscreen ever. 2nd hand smoke from both parents all my years growing up. Unsecured firearms in the house. Walked to school by myself. Played with no supervision until dark.

Damn, that was LIVING!!!

You can add to that list: taking the bus from the East Bay to Chinatown to buy firecrackers. And you had to walk through a narrow alleyway for about 50 feet to complete the transaction with an old Chinese guy that was right out of a scene from an opium den.
