Sometimes I wish we could go back for a while. Then some of the younger ones here could go back with us for a few days, and see what it was like. Better yet, a week or two.

Back when we were "Runnin against the wind"

Yeah, I still live in the little town where a lot of the good ol' days happened. It's still different though. There are some good things about today, but I just thought it would be neat if a lot of younger folks could temporarily check out the way things were. Then they could see how fast and how much things have changed. It was pretty much the same way of living for a long time. Over the past decade or so, things started to change at light speed. Maybe I'm just getting old and senile. LOL!

What we are reaping today is what has been sowed over the past generation.

I know I sound like an old fuddy duddy; however there are less and less morals being observed today than 20-25 years ago. There are less and less fathers in households. There are more and more single mom's. Women who want to be single mom's. There is less and less children taking care of their elderly folks.  There are more and more graduated college kids still living at home. Heck I moved out of my home when I was 20. I moved 3,000 miles to Seattle with my wife when I was 21. Heck my wife and I have been together for 36 years now. Through thick and thin.

I could go on and on but it would just be singing to the choir.

Great song. Even being as young as 21 I can tell there is a big difference between when I was a kid and kids now. I was part of the first playstation age. windows 96.

Halloween in my town used to be a huge event with the streets packed with people.. Now hardly anyone outside.
