[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2092349, member: 7539"] For those small town Oklahoma kids of the 70's like me: Remember those days when it was all simpler... living in the house that seemed huge then and tiny now with the floor furnace that popped and hissed and the window unit that fed the flower bed while it shook the sill as it started Remember that neighborhood, it was only a block but there were miles and miles of friends and all were known the back alleys were the highways for our bikes with the dogs and the gardens and the other side of people the only danger around was the occasional goat-head sticker We rode on freedom with a banana seat we rode for thousands of miles within that block ramps of wood and bricks transformed us into Evil Knievel yards full of sprinklers, clotheslines, trees and imagination paving 1:64 scale roads in the dirt and and being the Dukes School was bike rack, a tetherball, and H-O-R-S-E walking there and running home to catch Batman paper mache sculptures and Christmas plates we learned the new metric system of the future and found a million uses for red rubber balls Remember cap guns, parachute soldiers and water rockets riding in the back of the truck with the wood bed remember those days when it was all simpler living in the house with the brittle paint and the creaking floors time moved slower back then [/QUOTE]
