Brings back a lot of memories... Like when I was 6 and my sister was 8, we had to walk clear across town to go to school, no school busses in those days, and were told that if it started raining, just go on someones porch and stay there until the rain stopped, then continue walking to school. Nothing ever happened, either.
These days, I drive by all the (used to be) woods that I've walked through when I was a kid, and just love the memories of it.
Thanks for the reminders, Brenda.

Brenda,that was a wonderful post. It is a miricle some of us survived. My mom fried just about everything, and I was not an obese child or young adult. The reason most likely had to do with, all the playing I did outdoors. Yes, I walked home from school and played outside until supper.
Some changes however have been for the good. I remember the teachers being rather abusive (i'm 50) and at least now they can't get away with that. Our children are better protected from adults who sexually abuse. Seat belt laws are good.
Why do people have to go to extremes ? It seems we as a society have a hard time finding a safe middle ground. A place where we can keep children safe, but our life is not ruled by lawyers.

A line from a recent movie: "Mankind survived the last ice age, we're certainly capable of surviving this one."
Some dogs and cats get hit by cars, most don't. Kids are smarter (although I'll never forget when I was maybe six seeing my close friend Nick get hit by a car running across a busy street.... the old lady that hit him was terrified..... and probably dead now......... time for Cyg to quit thinking so much).
