Today, if kids play or walk or ride their bicycles on the street unaccompanied by an adult, the police or Child Protective Services will be summoned and the parents will be in heap big trouble. I have even read of kids who got in trouble for playing, unsupervised by an adult, in their own back yards.
Better to sit your kid in front of a computer and have him play video games all day.

In the little town where I live in each new subdivision the city puts in a small park with a baskeball hoop and playground equipment for children. Lots of grass and bike path. You rarely see anyone playing in them.
I don’t need those. It’s not just hit it, repeat as necessary!
My wife can’t keep up now.
Similar age and similar notation. I finished mowing last night about 2130 and got back at it in the shop about 0600, waiting out the heat of the day again though. That part, the heat, gets much harder to cope with in each passing year.
That sounds great.
We did more cement friendly things :)
