Me, too. Spent my freshman and sophomore high school years in
Faribault, Minne-snow-ta. (TM Phlash Phelps) Even learned to play ice hockey.

I never learned how to play hockey--only ice skating we got to do was
if the back yard flooded before freezing. It happened various times
while I was growing up but not on a consistant enough basis that I
learned how to ice skate that well. (OTOH, I did get good at roller skating.-G-) Our yard was at the bottom of several good sledding hills
so if it (the yard) was frozen, we'd get quite the ride.

I played football, hockey and baseball as an alternative to attending
gym classes where a lot of hazing took place. I was a "60 minute" player
as a football lineman, learned to skate well enough to be a defenceman
and goalie in hockey and was a 1st baseman and pitcher in baseball.

With the climate change's wild swings ...... hard to guess what Mom
Nature will fling at us next.

As long as you have your "get out of Dodge, quick) bag packed, you're
good for emergencies. We used to keep MREs on hand for emergency food supply but when the last ones expired some years ago, we never replaced them.

I'm pretty well stocked with non-perishables even though I don't have a specific "possibles" bag. The only part of any MREs I have is a supply
of those teeny-tiny Tabasco Bottles.

Hi Dave,

I never learned how to play hockey--only ice skating we got to do was
if the back yard flooded before freezing. It happened various times

Not an option for me, school was small enough that alternatives to gym
weren't available. Also, girl's sports other than gym were non
exsistant, basically the only thing that would have been close was cheerleading. That wasn't an option for me.

Our school did soccer instead of football.

Same here, I keep a number of canned goods in the pantry, just in case.
I'll also put some in the camper if we're heading out for a longer than
just a week end trip.

I don't have but a couple of those, but do have a few C-rat can openers floating around. Used to keep one in my wallet but discontinued that
some years ago.
