Those do sound good, Grits.

I know that if somebody would have told me when I graduated HS that one day, I would have my own little 7lb. computer, I could haul around, I would have told them to pass me that joint. LOL! Computers in those days still took up huge rooms. As for going offline-doesn't bother me a bit. The internet we could get at the house is way too slow for what they charge for, so we do without. Never bothers me. :)

i can remember one park in minneap that had a liquor store on the corner. wonder what child safety freaks would think of that?

I'm always amazed/appalled at how things have changed over the years for child safety. If I had kids, I'd want them get splinters, icky sticky fingers, skinned knees...all those minor injuries that all kids should get. Oh, oh...and those old, rusted, off-kilter, metal merry-go-rounds! They were hard to get going, and you'd better keep up before you jump on so you didn't get dragged around half underneath it! (but, good times)

Your neighborhood playgrounds sound a lot like the playground part of the park in my little town growing up. Well, except for the bars; in my case this was in small-town, hard-shell Southern Baptist, "dry" Oklahoma. There weren't no bars anywhere near. Now, when we were older (teens) and got our hands on liquor, we'd go to the empty field behind the dime store (T.G.& Y.) to drink - that was our "bar."

[Grits & Beans]

good afternoon! we have plenty of frybread. lemme warm some up for you.


if i had kids, they would know about playing outside. i'd even take them to lake nokomis that has a bridge over it, that we used to jump off of. haha

Ugh. My first bike. It was great until Dad got the bright idea to attach a 5-6 foot tall pole with a bright orange safety flag on top.

Errr...no. That turned it into the worst kind of geek-cycle. Even at that tender age, I refused to ride it until that effin' flagpole was taken off.
