True. I spent many blissful hours reading books way up in the top of a giant grapefruit tree, looking for frogs and fish in ditches, and riding my bike around aimlessly. Never occurred to me there was another way to be as a kid.
An important corollary to this:
Insurance coverage was cheaper/better, so you wouldn't necessarily bankrupt your family if you jumped your Huffy off the roof of the mothball factory or played a fun game of "throw and empty beer bottle in the air and try to hit it with another beer bottle."

Absolute truth. We’d drop our books and disappear into the cornfield, or the pine forest, or the hardwood jungle in the creek bottom. Total HUCK FINN wild roaming savages.
It. Was. Wonderful.

Having just interacted with the medical profession this morning via my less than adequate insurance… Yeah.
Not that my job will pick up the insurance tab. I have to do that part myself since they give me 4 days a week, not 5. Yay, America.

Before I worked exclusively with animals that have been dead for millions of years I worked with live animals and yes, they are all disgusting. I love them and did my best for them but a huge part of my job was keeping them clean and purging them of germs and diseases against their wishes.
I live in Iowa so if you wanna see a cow up close, you have plenty of opportunities to do so. And when you do you understand exactly why pasteurization is an essential, life-saving process.
