Thread: Living life as a dinosaur

My 85 year old dad and I had a similar discussion this past weekend. There was a time when we thought we were "normal" and the politically correct were the kooks.

Great post

Like several of you have said, sports didn't git it for me. If you weren't playing AA class ball, don't go to the corner lot and expect to get in on a game. I was raised in a Scouting family and that taught me a lot of what kept me from the trouble some of my friends found. I used to take a backpack and my tackle box, an old Plano, would just slide down inside it. Add a lunch and hold my rod in my hand while I rode the bike to fish for the day while the folks worked during the summer. Now the parents have to take kids wherever they need to go so that they can be confident that someone doesn't scoop them up or hospitalize them before dinner. Yes folks, things have greatly changed.
