When we were kids, we had a sprinkler...and that was fun.

Then at night...my bro and I would catch worms and sell them for a penny a piece at the bait shop. We always picked 300 at a time.

Then we'd go to the soda shop and get a huge ice cream cone for 5 cents.

This was mid 50's...life was good.

Yes. I was there, too. It was the Golden Age of America. And I’ll fist-fight anyone who thinks differently!

Eisenhower was president. So we had a steady hand at the tiller. Ike was keeping the world at peace. And he was slowly but surely breaking down the racial barriers in the South.

And you could get a good union job right out of high school. In my neck of the woods three huge steel mills were always hiring. And so was the railroad. As Billy Joel said in his song “Allentown”:

Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got

Damn Saca, I totally forgot about going to pick worms.

Thank you
