I had an Erector Set as well. I’m still alive.

And drank water from a hose, played mumbly peg with my pocket knife, baked potatoes under an open fire in the field, rode my bike without a helmet and snuck a smoke or three behind a billboard. Not to mention successfully burning designs with my wood burning kit and playing sports without adult supervision. I'm still here in my 80th decade. So there!

I used to pump gas in the early 70’s when the gas fumes were think and contained lead. Nothing like pulling a cap in July and getting blasted with fumes from an unvented fuel tank containing lead.
