I saw another list somewhere of things that weren't around when we were kids. It's hard to believe.
I grew up in a small farming community north of Corpus Christi, TX and I remember when we got our ABC affiliate. Smokin!! Three channels.
I could write a book but won't. I loved Little League baseball but one of my favorite times was around 13, listening to the great Motown bands and all the music on my little radio.
And who could forget sneaking out at midnight and staying out till 4 a.m. and you're 13-14 years old. It was such a rush.
Bottle rocket wars with my neighbors, shootng baskets at the 'chicken pen.' haha We had a basketball goal nailed to a tree and had so many games there that the dirt was like concrete.
I don't know if we even locked the house when we went on vacation(arguing in a car instead of home).
I love the little town where I grew up. If there were jobs there, I'd move back.Phil
