This is a thread all by itself. I told the kid downstairs who JUST finally got a bike, "When I was 10, I used to
come home from school, drop my 'grip' on the floor, grab a shovel, dig some worms, and be off on a bike down
the road past the cane field to the swamp 'in the back' and be catching fish a half hour after getting home from
school". Dang
LONG, dangerous bike ride, too, relatively speaking. At peak plant rush-hour traffic time,
too, with a good 6 chemical plants up the river from me.
This kid has to ask his grandma just to cross the street, lol.
