Oh damn lol...I only laugh because things of that nature happened so often back then. Plus, it's been a few years now so the pain and anguish has faded a bit lol. Speed wobbles are probably responsible for more emergency room visits than anything and perhaps more ass beatings. I do know those escapades have helped to shape you into the person you are today.

Things truly have changed since then, and none more than the kids themselves. When we were free to be ourselves and not to be micromanaged, we tried, failed, succeeded and triumphed doing all manner of dangerous or foolish things. We judged the probability of success and just went for it. Kids these days are cut from a different cloth. It's kind of like the clothes back then that took beating after beating, and still looked good while newer clothes sometimes rip, fade and shrink after the first washing. Could be inferior materials but I am more inclined to believe it is inferior processes that result in the lack of quality. Kids are like clothes...what you put into them...and sometimes what you don't.

I've had many run-ins with the speed wobbles in my day, my parents even called me speed wobbles instead of my real name for years. I survived though, and I developed in better ways through those moments, the adversity. Got fucked up a few times though, that's for sure.

I couldn't have said your second paragraph above better, you've encapsulated it is so well. I wonder if things will go the other way but I fear not. The world and humans are well off the rails and gleefully accelerate into the abyss. I'll be dead and gone before too long but it's happening already so will gett to see the fall.

Whew, glad that name didn't stick...Uncle Bonkers is so much better than Uncle Wobbles 😂

Humans can't fix anything as a whole, because we can't get out of our own way. I'll be gone as well, but I hope there will be some folks left otherwise we'll have nobody to haunt 👻

Uncle wobbles...yeah, you're right,not a good one. Although, uncle throat punch fits. Doled out a few.

When you're gone and I'm gone there's going to be some sad and sorry mother fuckers because we'll be haunting them. I can hardly wait, got some life to live first though.

Haunting is the new black.

Funny, when I typed haunting it auto-corrected to hunting. That works too of course. Lol.

Hunting is the new black sounds almost like an everyday excursion to the grocery store. Damn idiots need some gentle persuasion to get the hell out of the way lol.

Uncle Throat Punch sounds good, but maybe not fitting as a name a young boy should be using for his beloved uncle. I can almost hear him laughing at the thought of 'Uncle Wobbles' though lol.
