Bliss by Harry Bliss for September 06, 2024

I’m guessing you never lost your picture in a storm.

It was more like looking at your trembling hands while you listened to the night spirits.

We watched the “Magic Eye” on our Zenith radio. Good times…..

There were lots of things to do: like watching the grass grow and for paint to dry. For real excitement waiting and watching for water to boil.

Once in a while a train might go by. Lots of excitement.

That person must be well over a hundred. My dad is 91, and his folks had a television when he was still in high school. Of course, before that, they sat around the radio as a family, and they had lots of books. But yes, trees are good. Even my kids, who are still in their 20s, grew up climbing trees.

Those days are gone, never to return! …wait, we could do that again couldn’t we? Nevermind!

Yes, nature, clouds, games, etc! The good old days…

Life without TV is coming again. People use their phones and tablets instead.

How many people are still alive who didn’t grow up with television?

I just saw a new leaf start to sprout

Not books? is this guy from the mid-15th century (Gutenberg and his printing press)?

Apparently you were the only person in life that never heard of radio or books.

And miss Only Murders in the Building?? NOOOOOO

I thought they stared at the radio?

Knot true. :)

And we made our own fun. Good, clean fun. BTW get off my lawn. :)

Before Television the older generations big fear was that books would rot the kids minds.

And before that It was surely something else.

I know, I know, don’t call you shirley

And profitably. That’s one wonderful tree.
