    Back in my day you had to lick your stamps, pretty much everyone accepted personal checks, carpooling meant cram as many kids as possible into the back seat, and hand sanitizer was called soap and water.

    We had a basketball net on a telephone pole under a streetlight. As teenagers we used to play until midnight. one on one to a hundred. We played in the winter in snowstorms. It didn't matter - we just played day and night. Rode our one speed bikes - no holding the handlebars - everywhere.
