Boy, these posts bring back a lot of memories. What we all miss here is that our Grandchildren, and to some extent our children, never experienced the freedom to wander around without fear like we did. That makes me sad.
On a lighter note, A couple years ago my 10 year old Grandson was at our house and spotted the stack of LP's in our family room. He asked my wife, "What are those?" My wife pointed to the record player and explained that we put them on there to play music because we didn't have iPods back then. On a roll, she explained how when we were his age, we had 4 channels on the TV, no Microwave Ovens, and no cell phones. After a silent minute, our Grandson replied: "How could you live like that?". Boy have times changed.
afterword: I assume I don't need to explain the term LP to anyone here!
