Even in congested NJ we were throwing rocks into the river to scatter the snakes before jumping on the rope and swinging into the water. In TX I was shooting the pellet gun with Dad in the backyard and shooting the big guns at the range with him from about age five. Fishing every day in our johnboat in the pond behind the house, shooting cans with bb guns, burning trash, blowing up everything with firecrackers, riding bicycles everywhere, for hours and hours with NO helmet. Those days are long gone.
