This makes absolutely no sense. All those textbooks and history teachers couldn’t have been wrong, right? According to a recent article in USA Today, …
I’m reminded of other reckless products and activities from my childhood. Basically, we lived a daredevil lifestyle. How did we survive? Whenever I bring this up to a fellow baby boomer, two words come up: “Lawn darts.” Followed by, “Who thought it was a good idea to toss metal-tipped darts fitted with plastic fins into …
