A Toy Soldier Story

[ozma914]

 As a kid, I had to use my imagination. No cable, no video games, no Anarchist Cookbook on the internet. If I’d tried to buy the ingredients for a bomb, the store clerk would have been on the phone to my parents before I reached the door

I remember playing with blankets and making space ships by drawing a ‘console’ with buttons on a piece of cardboard. I had so many adventures …..

We had a portable electric organ that functioned for my control panel. Really good times!

I am just nodding along here. We used to spend, literally, hours over at the play park near our house - sometimes on the, fairly basic, play equipment, but more often making 'dens' in the bushes, earth slides down the slope at the back (about 10ft away from the metal one), and so on.

Our equipment was pretty basic too; I guess that's part of the reason why making stuff from scratch was so much more fun.
