Crusty old curmudgeon |
Regretfully I'm old enough to remember most of those activities. Snow forts and tether ball are a couple you forgot. How about pea shooters and paper airplanes for a couple more. I could go on and on. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Yes, same here. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

How about making a skooter out of a 2x4 with half a roller skate nailed to the front and back with an orange crate nailed on top to steer. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln | |||

Yup, remember them all. You forgot playing "baseball" with a two bladed pocket knife. For those unfamiliar: https://chestofbooks.com/craft...-A-Pocket-Knife.htmlThis message has been edited.

I was just talking to my Sister about this a couple of days ago. We agreed we missed the old A&W drive in, they'd bring you out a ice cold A&W root beer in a big heavy frozen glass mug on a window tray and place it on your car window. I miss that. | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
Realistic cap guns sold at every store and carried by every kid. No wonky colors or red tips on the barrels. Digging trenches in your lawn for Army Men wars. Burning things with magnifying glasses. Snow fort wars that lasted days, as long as the snow lasted, even when it became ice wars.
That reminds me of summers at the grandparents and at the lake. Fireflies ALL over, catch them in a jar for a light at night, let them go in the morning. We see a handful around occasionally, but not like back in the day. | |||

Remember all except the ice man. Also going to get a polio shot as it was a "new" wonder drug. Bibles being handed out in the public school library. The Good Humor man. PF Flyer gym shoes. Lone Ranger, Superman and cartoons on Sat. morning TV. What a wonderful time to be a kid. | |||

Yep. Played a lot of war. When the walnuts started to drop they became grenades. When walnuts were not available dirt clods worked pretty good on your enemy. “Roof top football” was a favorite. | |||
