how about a slingshot made out of the "perfect" branch!
Man, this thread has got me miss'n the old days. I was back in Texas not long ago visiting some friends that live about 2 hours outside of Ft. Worth. In many ways, it is still the same as when I was a kid. The kids run around playing cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, etc. The only difference now is that the schools are overcrowded with the kids of illegals that work on the ranches and farms. When I was a kid, we had the illegals that worked on the ranches and farms too, but back then, only the males came and they sent all their money home. Now they bring the entire nuclear and extended family with them and let the "system" take care of them. We always hear about how the cities are burdened with the debt of illegals, you would be surprised how many small towns and counties have it even worse since they have much smaller tax bases in which to draw from.
Sorry, let's get back to reminiscing....
I remember when taking the bus to a far off city was more common than flying.
