On base at Maxwell, AFB in Montgomery, AL they had a playground just like that. We would have 5 or 6 boys all bike home, and get each of our moms to give us a sheet of wax paper. Then we would all slide down on the waxed paper a few times, and wax the slide. With jeans on we could get going fast enough to "get air" on the hump and try to "fly" the furthest, and NOT fall down when you feet hit the ground at the bottom while going really fast. Lots of scraped knees and elbows and laughter.

The olive tree of Vouves, on Crete. This tree, which has a trunk 15 feet in diameter, is at least 2,000 years old, and likely 2,900 years older,based on the graveyard found nearby. This tree likely lived through the writing of the Iliad, the golden age of Athens, the rise & fall of the Roman Empire
