LOL, LadyZ, when I was growing up in Kansas, my sister, cousin, and I used to leave the house early Saturday morning and ride all day. We would take fishing poles in case we came to a stream or pond. Once, we caught a bluegill and tried to cook it on my Boy Scout cooking set, but without fat to fry it, we didn't get very far. We called those "Bike Hikes." When we got home, my folks didn't even ask where we'd been, just whether we had fun. I remember going up to Woolworth's and buying a hamburger, chocolate shake, and bag of chocolate stars from the candy counter, all for less than a dollar. Yeah, we only had three channels and no color, but when we went through Ft. Smith, AR, we pitied the kids in that town, 'cause they just had one. Then, when we moved back to Texas, we actually had four! Riches!
