From as early as I can remember, when riding in the car, I sat on the center console as a kid. And if I did sit in the back, I always made sure the seat belts were stuffed between the cushions. I don’t think bike helmets were a thing. Our family doctor has two types of pills and one type of cough syrup and ear drops. that is all the medicine he had and all we needed. Lol.
We went out to dinner 3 or 4 times a year. We got fast food about once a year. We got ice cream a few times. Maybe went to the beach twice. Mostly we basically quarantined. My daughter does more in a week than I did in an entire summer and she does more in a summer than I did my entire childhood.
I really like the computer age and I think it’s a great time to be alive... but it could be so much better.
