The best thing about the 80s

Being able to do shit without being recorded. I used to ride my bike in my driveway and pretend I was a horseback mail carrier in the old west. I had really long drawn out conversations with myself on this long country driveway in Ohio's Amish country. I'd spend all day doing this, riding back and forth. Was I retarded? Maybe. Really we are so lucky, those of us who got a childhood before mass surveillance.

Grew up 80s/90s right next to the end of a concrete drainage ditch that ran across most of the town. I had a nearly unbroken path that provided quick travel to any main thoroughfare. Only traffic would be other kids, some creeps, and dogs.

I'd often leave my bike just at the entrance of blocks long storm drains and go spelunking. Kids would try to fight sometimes, but they never screwed with other kids' bikes around here.

Found tons of porn in all the nooks and crannies of the ditch system and its drainage area.
