wow a flashback easter
We had safe city pools to go to or else we took turns in each others pools to swim in
that was the one thing i really loved about orlando florida..all the lakes
we would could not go to the public pools as i am of the pre-polio vaccine era
as that was one of the ways is did spread
my one fishing buddy had got rid of his braces (for his legs) about a year before we moved there and he had a 3 speed bike for riding around, and i thought those were super until we would get to the shore (sand) ;-)
but i do remember the farmers would load up their trucks with watermelons and drive through the neighborhood, and you could always find a adult to buy one and eat it right there in the driveway !!!!! and the next year there would be all the baby watermelon plants from us spitting the seeds heheheh
and remember the roller skate we had as a kid? it is amazing we don't all walk with a limp!!! no matter how tight you got them with the skate key if you were going fast they would always come off and you would get a good chance to kiss the pavement
hummm maybe there are some things that are safer now ;-)
