I miss the old wooden playgrounds that were like giant forts. The replacement ones look like such a disappointment.
Our playground growing up was a special kind of evil. It was asphalt all around, with pea gravel filling some areas. What that meant was with the gravel on the asphalt it was like ball bearings. It would be like the old cartoons. You could watch a whole group of kids running full bore, just completely lose their traction and result in a whole bunch of blood and concussions.
But nothing was on the same level as the merry go round. Made out of nothing but steel. No padding. Heavy steel pipe for handles. The bottom was made from diamond tread plate that was razor sharp at the edges, and slippery as an eel with the slightest hint of water. And it sat on top of a concrete slab. Recipe for disaster.
I'm ready for the E100 future. Popcorn says **** you.
That's some serious millennial shit right there.
Back in the '70's we had tractor tire playgrounds with tetanus coated steel belts poking out to promote herd immunity and monkey bars made out of lead and filled with asbestos dust chopped finer than the cocaine the janitor was doing with the recess lady and gym teacher while not watching us.
Jokes aside, being from up north and experiencing an ice storm in Dallas...
It's easy to laugh at the south, but when their perfectly paved roads get iced over, they become sheets of glass that short of studded snow tires, nothing is going to save you.
With not salt trucks, you are at the mercy of the weather.
I lived in Iowa until I was 30, then moved to TX. Scariest thing here are the native Texans who don't respect the snow and ice on the road. Some of these folks think their big, lifted trucks are immune to bad road conditions.
We saw one idiot at tractor supply in a 2 wheel drive truck with like 22s. I'm sure that was a fun drive home. Took him like 5 minutes to turn around without hitting someone in the parking lot.
I would agree with that statement... seen some idiots driving like if it was a warm summer day here... couple of them went sideways and learned a lesson the hard way...
It's not limited to Texas. I live in Virginia and the people here are F'ing idiots. You would think that if someone saw a jack-up Jeep Rubicon traveling at a fraction of the speed limit, that they would slow down a bit. Nope... Ice storm last week, I had people blowing by me exceeding the speed limit with near a 1/4 inch of ice everywhere.
Over the course of the day, I saw 3 people who had passed me at high speeds, in ditches. One on their roof. I stuck around for all three to tell the cop they were driving like a ****... because stupid should hurt.

Funny how she yells about democracy falling apart.....hypocrisy is their policy. #1 policy
One thing ive learned with snow if you can drive a panther platform vehicle with a non posi rear around except for thw highway your doing pretty good lmao
My first car was an ‘89 Grand Marquis. Not a Panther, but the same concept. That car was a riot in snow.
89 Grand Marquis was a Panther platform.
