I remember walking a mile in the freezing cold, just so I could get to school early and play in the snow with my friends. Of course they won't let you do that now either.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is winter and we do live in Wisconsin don't we ? I remember in the 70's standing out for the bus for 15 min everyday,doing chores and being kids,it was a heck of a lot colder then and for weeks at a time ! This world is becoming sissified. Just saying!
