“In my day we walk to school 3 miles in the rain or the snow...and uphill both ways”
Me, too! I also had to dodge the snow gators. Nearly lost a leg on a number of occasions
It’s 2 miles up hill from the bus stop to my house. Walked it many times. At least it was down hill in the morning. 11 miles home from school and I walked that a few times. When there’s no snow in VT there’s mud so there’s that.
Reminds me of a friend of mine in the 4th grade who’s parents were divorced and in the morning he’d be at his dad’s house, walk to school which WAS in fact slightly uphill, and after school, walk in the same direction to his mom’s house, also uphill.
He pretty much did walk uphill both ways
Lucky bastard also got 2 Christmases and two birthdays
I delivered a morning paper route, getting up at 4:30. Had to get done, home and clean up, and to school by 8. Never thought a thing about it. My brother did, too.
