    I miss being a kid in the country, sometimes. The stupidity was never ending and the risk->reward function always paid massive dividends.

    TBH, we had super clean water where I grew up and there were bigger risks than getting covered in cow shit, which did happen on occasion. (My best friend at the time got his hands on some blasting caps one weekend. We probably weren’t much older than 12 or 13 at the time…)

    Sorry for the tangent. This conversation kicked up more nostalgia than I expected.

      No problem.

      Heh! You had blasting caps, we had carbide (my grandfather was still running an acetylene generator in his welding/machine/mechanic shop).
