My grandchildren get recliners in their rooms, they sit there usually3/4 of the day playing ROBLOX etc. The days of kids playing basketball, softball and touch football in the parks seem to have waned to a bicycle sitting on the porch.
They just spent millions here on a new park, huge, cemented parking lot and solar light system Plus solar field. 40 acres, a few lil swings lots of empty space, no soccer or ball fields, no basketball court, just bathrooms and parking and some walking to a bike path that sees a few people occasionally throe it's hundreds of miles network. only people on their phones ambling for a couple of miles or minutes on them.
A small pond about 3 acres to stumble around on hot blacktop. A few places to stop and sit in the sun for a bit and watch the water snakes swim past. It's made the blacktop stamped with the look of red bricks syndrome now.
Maybe once a month some kids will play in a Cul da sac on their boards, while running into mailboxes. Lil power cars and power chairs seem the way of things.
...I would cover the heat register in the floor so parents didn't see my Room lights on...Did that count? Very cold in my room the next morning too. Only way heat got upstairs were the floor vents. When I was older I got paid for working and bought an Electric Heater for my room, thus catching hell for using it...electric bill went up. Room cold in the winter and very hot in the summer.
