Re: [FWDLK] Stuck in the 50's

[Jack Johnson <johnaire@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I remember before I started driving, we would put baseball cards clipped 
with a clothe pin on our bike frames and let the spokes hit them and it 
would make a neat sound.  Better yet was the balloon that we would tie both 
ends to the frame of the bike and let it go into the spokes and it would 
sound like a Hollywood muffler.  I tried that with my grandkids this year 
and the balloons were not as tough as the ones we had in the 50's.  They got 
a few feet away and they went pop.
  Ah, those were the days my friend.  Sounds like a song to me.
