That's such a temptation for young boys.<br /><br />I recall trespassing neighbourhood yards to flich peas and strawberries from their gardens, or sometimes errant branches that grew between fence slats would bear their fruit at a location offsite.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-79827553374157356182011-01-25T15:23:15.860-06:002011-01-25T15:23:15.860-06:00I remember those days, up in the Panhandle, as a c...I remember those days, up in the Panhandle, as a child. Glad you survived to tell about it! I've never been shot at, have risked life and limb a few times doing the outdoor nature thing, and no, I managed to escape my youth unscathed and without leaving behind any 'sign'. ~karenKaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-47749481002004613612011-01-24T15:20:17.108-06:002011-01-24T15:20:17.108-06:00I used to rock climb, so I guess I have risked my ...I used to rock climb, so I guess I have risked my life, although I was always pretty careful to make sure that risk was <i>small</i>. If you're doing it right, top-roping is not dangerous.<br /><br />I have risked serious injury far more often. Jumping off the roof onto our trampoline seemed harmless, but then one of my brother's friends broke his leg jumping just off the <i>fence</i> onto the trampoline. Oops.<br /><br />Oh, and my brother and I once flipped an ATV pretty badly, but we were on soft dirt. We dusted ourselves down and never told anyone.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-61601761628780657702011-01-24T15:01:01.412-06:002011-01-24T15:01:01.412-06:00Great post, Travis.

...Great post, Travis. Lot of fun. Lot of memories.<br /><br />As to your questions. I've never been shot at. I did risk life and limb more than once--always seemed like a good idea at the time. And my memorial carving of my name on Valentine Ave in the Bronx lasted from the early sixties until the nineties.<br /><br />TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-82092717938599927712011-01-24T10:35:15.705-06:002011-01-24T10:35:15.705-06:00Junosmom - Maybe he was just stingy.Junosmom - Maybe he was just stingy.Travis Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420879160702098979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-89350458350510997092011-01-24T10:34:12.803-06:002011-01-24T10:34:12.803-06:00Walking Man - I don't blame you.
