::Hey Jesse,Pat yourself on the back for still having the ambition and desire to learn at our advanced age(I'm 43).I'm disgusted by how many people I know our age who willingly give up on learning and become television zombies for lack of ambition or even simple curiosity.Good for you,my friend.

:Hi,
:I think that I was the last generation that didn't have television for a baby sitter. I lived in Augusta, GA, and we didn't get TV until I was in the seventh grade. I lived in a house about 2 miles south of the Augusta National, and there was the country club within walking distance. We played golf, football baseball basketball. We played from dawn to dark on weekends, and in the summer when school was out. We made crystal sets, mooched enough stuff off of telephone men that we had our own little telephone network. We bugged radio repair shops, we got chemicals and made rockets and bombs. We shot BB guns and later .22s. We had no television and no computer games. We were never bored, seldom dishonest. I think televison was the worst thing to hit the human racd.
