Nostalgia can be fun. It can make you wonder things like “What the hell was I thinking?”
From the time I was 11 till I was 14 years old, I used to live waaay out in the country – so far out that we were in the ‘county limits’, not city limits. No stores, no malls, not even a gas station for miles and miles.
My friend Donnie and I used to ride our Huffy bikes all the way into the city to hang out with friends and see movies on the weekends, and at least 2 or 3 times per week during the summer. It was a 48 mile round trip each time – forty eight miles! We’d leave in the morning and would usually be back just before dinner. It was always a lot of fun – sometimes dangerous, but always fun.
Who does that anymore??
