Tales from my Parent's childhood.

Yep!  That's what I've heard alright, plus the "holes in their shoes."

Dang, growing up in the Buffalo New York area that sure brings back a lot of memories. Although, the hills were never that high 😂

Higher education is an unnecessary strain.  This is exactly why I never aspired to be at the top of my class.  You might say I stayed at base camp level intellectually.

Both ways.

@paul-rouffa Himalaya High was reputed to be the acme of formal education.

Dad grew up in Sicily  -  they had to truck the snow in each night for his next day's walk to school.  

 I was already in college but this is what it was like growing up in Pennsylvania.

Looks a bit like my driveway this morning. 40 inches of mostly lake effect this last week.

@david-green Wow David. I am at the age that I could no longer handle that.

@car224 Ohio too. Although they predicted 4-6" over the weekend,  we didnt even get an inch. I had gotten the snowblower ready for nothing. But that's fine by me.😁
