Wow just Wow I remember back then riding in the back of my father’s pickup truck on the freeway. Staying out playing with other kids until the sun started to go down. I always had a knack of falling down but always got back up. I miss those fun times where politicians did not meddle in our lives. Now they enjoy being inside our butts for every dam thing and regulating it. Like in a past thread about Cell Phones, we didn’t have that yet we all survived. Now there is a phone glued to everyone’s ear. How I miss the past.
I remember in the wintertime when the temperature hovered in the teens and the snow was on the ground playing outside all day long until the green snot was running down our faces and then finally we came in and ate like pigs.
We did manage to sit by the radio at 5Pm to listen to four of our favorite fifteen minute serials.
Born in America (California) in 1946, I’ve truly lived in the greatest country and the greatest era it has known. I’ll never be able to explain what freedom was like to my grand kids.
