Do you remember when you were a kid, burning piles of leaves. The smell carried for miles and put a smile on everyones face. We'd always make huge piles of leaves and jump and play in them, 'til they were pretty worn out.
Then we'd rake it all up again and some kindly adult would set it on fire. Those were great days indeed.
Today if you live in a town, smoke from a leaf pile will get you a fire truck, maybe a fire extinguisher, a rescue truck and about four police officers. Then you probably will have to do community service or maybe reform school.
When I think of all the fun we had riding in the back of a pickup truck, i wonder how we survived. And we never even heard of a seat belt. Now you have to ride in a car seat until after you graduate from High School.
How did we live through it!
