They kept right on spraying in my town in little Texas town too. We all chased the smoke.
And as for responsible parents watching us, you see, our parents didn’t see us too much during the day.
Mom also had no idea we also like riding our bikes on the runway of the local airport so the “mean lady” would come out with a broom and try to chase us!
Of course, after that, we rode to the post office to look at the wanted posters.
Then we’d head to the grocer and buy the frozen candy bars we hid in his freezer earlier.
Yeah, we rode all over town and then some including dirt bikes a few years later. Fun doing jumps on construction sites after the crew went home for the day. But I never did ride up the tailpipe of a mosquito truck.
