VHS tape??

A funny story for you: I was on my way to small group a few days ago and saw some kids playing on the side walk. (Well, I heard them before I saw them really.) They were probably no more than ten years old and were screaming every few seconds. So, naturally, I thought something was wrong, until I looked closer and I saw this black, stringy, shiny stuff blowing in the road. It was VHS tape that the kids must have found and taken out and stretched it for a good two blocks, hooking it on light posts and garbage cans. BUT the wind kept blowing it into the road, where cars would run over it and each time this happened they would scream as loud as they could. I do not know if they thought it was funny, or really, genuinely angry at us drivers for running over their VHS tape. But at least they weren't playing in the street.

VHS, do they even know what that is? This reminds me of our conversations about slide shows. The old school ones that went slide by slide! The kids don't even know what these things are these days all they have known is DVD:)

I like reading your blog! It helps me keep up with you as you are a long way away.
