I was looking at this photo again and thinking about how different things are today. Note that none of these kids is over weight. And of course nobody has an electronic device stuck onto an ear. When school let out at the end of a school day there were no organized activities to be driven to with uniforms and coaches. If you played baseball it was with whoever in the neighborhood you could get to play. Mostly you needed a bat and a ball. Tree forts were built without parental supervision or knowledge. Bicycles were ridden everywhere once you were big enough to ride one. There was a lot of make believe... pretend wars or cowboys and Indians with dramatic deaths once shot by a cap gun. I suppose the girls had their own make believe stuff, too, but boys didn't know much about that and didn't want to know.
...And suddenly, it's way later than when I logged on here. Cool stuff.
