What's something you enjoyed as a child/teen that your kids will never appreciate, or know anything about?

We made our own kites that would sail into the clouds and out of sight using sticks and brown wrapping paper, with tails made out of multi-colored rags knotted and longer than we were tall.Bows were home made from tough, hickory and piano wire and arrows carved out of the left-overs from the branch used to cut the bow. Arrows were thin and sharp on the end with wire wrapped tightly to give them exquisite balance. The measure of a good bow and arrow was the ability to shoot the arrow straight into the sky and watch it go out of sight. We practiced on rodents in the barn from high perches, on narrow ledges and nailed a fair number. After, we leaped into the hay when it was high enough, otherwise a fall would have resulted in dire consequences.We swam naked as Jay’s, boys and girls together in gigantic pools of water made by the huge coal companies who strip mined the countryside then abandoned them for more profitable diggings. John, a neighboring farm boy and my best friend then, drowned one summer day in one of those ponds.In the summer and spring, We fished the creeks that ran through the farming country I grew up in and chased after snakes, watching out for the occasional mean, snapping turtle they say could snap your finger off. We poked sticks into hives of hornets than ran like crazy and dived into the creek to mud the inevitable stings. Winter we skated on the ice on the way to school and sledded down dirt roads that were kept plowed but were slick and fast and pile ups at the bottom were downright dangerous and that was the fun of it.We knew we were poor but there was always canned food from the huge garden in the spring house and fresh killed game that wintered nearby and was spooked out of hiding by Jack, the little Beagle that lived for 13 winters and finally died in the same little dog house where he was born. I only went hunting one time.Already times had changed and the last one room school house in the state was sent to the capital where it was put on display as a relic of a bygone time that will never be seen again. They say my desk is still where it sat, the final eighth grader to be part of a passing era. My initials embedded deep from the prized pocket knife that all boys over the age of ten carried in those days, one blade broken it sits somewhere among my “stuff,” all but forgotten until now.Thanks for the request.

Why have Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup?

Italy, the winners of the famous 2006 World Cup, have failed to qualify for the 2018 WC, this being the first time in 60 years. Ventura’s side failed to win against an Ibrahimovic-less Sweden, losing 1–0 on aggregate.Despite constant pressure and countless opportunities to score, the Azzurri failed to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg, which plummeted Italian fans into despair and hopelessness.This was mainly due to bad tactics employed by Italian manager Gan Piero Ventura, as maybe the 3–5–2 formation was the wrong one to use, and some class players like Insigne were left warming the bench. Some say the loss was due to not using the younger players, who would have added pace and fresh legs to the squad. Seven players of the starting line-up for the first leg against Sweden were over the age of 30, with four over the age of 33. Many fans will be inclined to believe that Ventura should have enlivened things earlier, in the first leg. This means that Johansson’s 60th minute goal in the first leg was enough to push Sweden to qualifying for the Wold Cup.The memory of this football tragedy will certainly linger around for a while. The Italians not qualifying resulted in Ventura getting the sack, with the goalkeeping legend Gianluigi Buffon now retired from international football. It’s surely a sad moment for football fans around the world…
