Mom & dad were born before man had powered flight and lived to see a man walk on the moon.

It kind of bothers me to see the blacksmith at the summer festival.  He's working in the building and at the forge that we used to take our plow shares to and have new points put on them.  Now he's a weekend display of what was, just entertainment.

I went to a one room school and was maybe better educated because I was able to hear and see all the same material that much older classes had.  That was probably the original learn at you own pace.  We had to clean the floors and blackboard.  We were the janitors.
