Perfect article for this fireworkless 4th of July.

Helmets, kneepads, elbow pads, dayglo clothing, good Lord! I remember metal rollerskates...and playing roller derby wearing them. I'm surprised one of us didn't end up with broken bones. These days if your kid falls out of a tree(or tips over in her chair in class resulting in a fractured elbow), the cops question them. Hey it's got to be someone's fault that the kid broke something! Let's wrap them up in cotton!

I don't know how old you are, but remember when we could get all the kids on the street for an impromtu game of baseball or street hockey? This is the main reason why kids are fat. We can't let them out for fear that some crabby neighbor will call the police. My kids and the neighbors kids had a water balloon fight on thursday, and I was literally worried that the cranks who live across from us would call the cops! Complete Bravo Sierra. I want my damn fireworks back!!!!! /rant
