A whole list of “wows” and “yeah I remember thats” or “how do the little bastards survive today - we did this and turned out fine” moments. Blockbuster, hot cars with 4-30 air conditioning (4 windows open going 30 mph for those who don’t know), the clothes, crazy music, family trips, the whole shebang.

Yep, life was pretty damn good then ! What the hell happened ???

You forgot the "monkey bars". Ours were steel pipe held together with clamps. We also had a pole with chains on it with handles. You just ran in a circle and hoped the piece at the top would keep going around the pole and not lock up. Oh, yea recess was a time you would go outside to play then head to the nurse's office to fix you skinned elbows, arms, legs and also foreheads.
