I was always a little jealous of them city kids when I was young. Their parents bought them pool passes. They got to ride their bikes on pavement while I was forced to ride through boulder sized gravel. Any time they wanted to hang out they just walked across the street. There was no waiting for Mrs. Melon to stop tying up the party line to call your buddies. Then there was the 2 mile bike ride or 1 mile as the crow flies walk to meet up. Naw, them city kids had it made.Lookin' back though I don't think I'd trade them suicide rides down a gravel road hill for pavement. I bet not many a city kid ever got to jump 20 ft into a heap of silage. How many of them high-rise hayseeds got to swim and fish in their pool. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm sure they had their share of fun, but so did I.
