Remembering The Past

[Fordup]

We would pickup an old car hood at a salvage yard and tie it to a car. Rope had to be short so we didn't swing out too far. Sudden stops were a problem.

For a while some kids in our neighborhood took to jumping on the back of a city bus. Feet on the bumper hands holding on to the frame of the advertising sign on the back. I never did that one. Too many neighbors had my mothers phone number. " Your son is doing burnouts on our street again."

We would tie an aluminum saucer behind snowmobiles with a long rope. There was only one incident over the years when John hit a tree while being whipped around. He survived because of the 19 layers of clothes he was wearing to keep warm and proved that aluminum saucers were crash worthy
