"In the summer, my mom would kick me out of the house and tell me to go play. She didn’t drive me anywhere, no phone in my pocket, just left to my own devices until dinnertime. I’d get on my bike and ride all over town and get into all sorts of shenanigans. Bikes were truly freedom to a kid back then.
If you tried that nowadays they’d take your kid away from you."
yes, i'm old, but i like the new technologies.
