What does the average life span allow as to generations. To my reckoning it is around four if great grandparents are still living. Then again, I am not the best at generations or mathematics. In fact, I’m lousy at horseshoes also. Never played horseshoes but have seen it played a time or two which is probably why I never played it. I am more of a shooter of guns or shotguns at a shooting range.

Generations are weird. As tech grows generations get weirder. When you figure that I grew up with radio and no TV until I was about six. Outside was where we stayed and inside was where people went to die. I mean this quite literally as outside, rain or shine, was everything to us back then. There was also a lot more outside than there is now so a three mile walk into wonderland was a way to disappear into make believe. Three mile walks wee all around us back then. Those clearings are why developers put tract housing to fill up where we played so we got what we could as to imagination while we could.

Now it depends on where the parents live as to how creative or imaginative a child will be. Urban is real. Country allows room for the imagination is the way I see it. Urban doesn’t appear to develop positive outlooks in children. The country does plus the country demands responsible children because chores need doing. Is this the difference we are subject to now?
