    Yes they were...could go about anywhere with out getting in trouble or hurt (at least for me). I used to ride my bike EVERYWHERE and not have to worry about stranger danger or getting jumped or nonsense like that. I loved the summers in Washington...I miss those days at times.

    No one has mentioned 'my little ponies' or 'rainbow brite' or 'teddy ruxpin' (sp?)? What's wrong with you people? :confused:

    I think most of my summers were spent with Archie and the gang....

    Rock n roll fans gotta admit that 70s and 90s kicked the shit outta 80s. I was into metal then however, everything from glam and hair to speed. Loved Dio, Crue, Ratt, Dokken, Accept, metallica, ACDC, GnR, LA Guns, Queensryche (still gotta pop in Op Mindcrime periodically), Motorhead, Poison, Kix, Yngwie....
    Who else am I forgetting?

    Oh and a favorite tv show: The Incredible Hulk
