community/town to town competition


You would love summertime in South Dakota. Still play Legion Baseball where each town has a team sponsored by a Post. It's U19, I believe.

We also still have amateur baseball teams in each town and have a State Championship. Yes, I could come out of retirement at 53 years old after not playing since high school and play competitive amateur baseball, theoretically.

Minnesota has the same things. Maybe even North Dakota too.

Slush puppy gum alog with tidal wave gum. Gatorade gum. The little Tonka truck with the double. AA Batteries in them. They would be a big hit if brought back

The fear of being vaporized by the USSR.

The joy of opening a new record or cassette.

The charming small country town I grew up in. It is now a white trash and fatigue dump of cars on blocks and yards full uncut grass and trash.
