[Superman]

On the edge of a small logging town. My back yard was endless and uninhabited. Bikes and BB guns. It is very hard to catch a fish with your hands, but you can sometimes hook them by the gills. BB guns don't kill gophers or tree squirrels but can stun the heck out of a chipmunk and a lucky shot can kill a small bird. Many many similar wisdoms were learned, too many to list here but......

Here's one in keeping with the danger theme. The country road ran about three miles or so up the hill. Windy and narrow and fairly steep with woods on both sides. Between the time of a fresh snow and two days later when the truck would spread sand or gravel on it, it was an unbeatable sled course except for one thing. The cars. The solution was elegant. Sled at night.
