Every kids dream, most parents nightmare. As a kid I remember listing to the radio hoping to hear school is closed but no announcement. So off we went to school, one mile away in a ice storm on bicycle. I spent 10 minutes trying to get up one little driveway into the grass. I kept sliding down towards a busy street. We finally got to school and the sign on the door was closed. Of course we cheered, they played in the ice covered streets of the neighborhood. The only good places to stop and rest was a spot were a car had been parked and the street was dry. I think I had 24 crashes on my bike. No skinned up body parts, just bruises. When I crashed it was hit the ground and slide. We finally got back home after a few hours. Of course my mom had finally heard school was closed and we were not back home. She knew were were just being boys and out playing. Now days parents call 911 and have a search if the parents don't know exactly where the kids are. It was a different era for sure.
Good Monday morning.
