I hear you, Steve and Bevvie. Sometimes I can actually FEEL what it was like to be that kid again when I recall the right memories. Both good and bad at times to feel that way, but either way, nostalgia is a mystical thing.marymc says,

The Mommy-fication of America didn't exist so we could: Ride our bikes without helmets and make plywood ramps to emulate Fonzie jumping over cars on his motorcycle; ride in the back of the truck to the beach; tie a rope from our bike to the Big Wheel and pull our friends down the street; survive road rash from falling off of the Big Wheel by washing the grit off with the garden hose; biking or walking anywhere we wanted as long as we were home by the time the street light came on.Believe says,
Drank from the garden hose. Best water ever.
