“.. our students lost a lot of their innocence in those years”.
I remember the parks, playgrounds etc.. being vacant. It was almost like there were no children. Yes, the kids did lose a lot of their innocence (especially since it was a year after 9/11). The most stupid thing I remember was zig-zagging across a parking lot trying to get into a grocery store. Looking back it was comical. Eight people zig zagging in a hurry trying to get groceries. Just for making me zig zag.. they should tack on another ten years. LOL!
Would have lover to have seen that!
I just remember at the gas station, tanking up, making sure it was on the inside of the pump, not outside, etc.
Just feeling so vulnerable...
I now have a 20 gauge pump action shot gun and plan on a concealed .38 Special in the near future....just in case.
