1. Yep.

I likewise miss all those things.

Wait, we weren't allowed to grill in the library? What do you mean we didn't get free refills at gas stations? What are you?? Some kind of a**hole Democrat??

7. Fun fact:

With a simple hydroponics set up and some grow lights in a small closet you can grow enough ganja for yourself and all your friends.

3. I've been trying to figure out if all the COVID reporting, as horrific as it is, can ever be worse

than all the Trump reporting. Given Trump is responsible for so much of the bad COVID news, I'm inclined to say the latter.

4. Live concerts. Big & small.

6. Movie theatres - I only went every month or so, but I miss it.

Whenever life seemed overwhelming or I needed to pop out of a dysfunctional mind-set a good loud movie was 'just the ticket' !!

[Ron Obvious]

13. Can't wait to play lawn darts again.

Can't wait to board a plane again without showing ID, like on a bus (just watched the DB Cooper special)

I miss playing 45's with my friends.

Possibly these were further back than pre-pandemic.
