Change is the only constant. Embrace it, learn the new stuff, and master it! :)

Why? Must not have lived in NC back then. haha Except for 6 years in the Navy, I spent most of my life in Iowa, Montana, and Wisconsin. Not much winter barefooting in my history. I will admit, I didn't have to walk uphill both ways to school. There's a hill in Iowa, I heard, but it wasn't between my house and the school. I'm not even sure what county it was in. I don't remember even seeing it. Probably just heard about it from my Grandpa. From when he lied about having to walk up it to get to school. haha.Seriously, I miss him. When you're a kid, you take him for granted. But things change. And that's what this thread has been about.... change. Someone groused about progress, but the fact is, things change. That's life. My son and I were on a trike trip and we flew back to Iowa and flew over the town I grew up by. I was going to show him my grade school, and the ball diamond where I played baseball, and my Dad did, too. They were both gone. It wasn't necessarily progress, or better, or worse, but things get old, and they crumble, and something new comes up in their place. That's how life is, an endless, never ending now that is constantly evolving and changing. Sometimes we like it, sometimes we don't. Past age about 18, which we look forward to reaching, we don't want it to change. But it does anyway.JimFrom: JerrySent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 8:52 PMNo. We wore shoes in the winter.
Hmm. And I'm guessing that all of you walked to school barefoot,
through two feet of snow, uphill both ways?
