An Old Man " Get Off the Lawn" Moment

I probably shouldn't get one, but sometimes I do get one. I am getting of that age in my life. I really can't help it.

Yesterday there was a post on Facebook about people griping about the heat. And the 'old' band kids are the are not really griping.

What the hell has happened?

I remember marching in the heat of the day in high school, and college......Heck, even when school started we marched at Noon and then again at 3:30pm in August-September....And the guys were practicing football in the adjacent field.

Was it hot?

Like the flames of hell.

I even see that the kids need a physical for marching band now.

I know football players forever had physicals, but there was a doctor in our town who was about 90 years old would sign physical papers for $2. I think he "might" have listened to the kid's heart....

But now, everyone is afraid of a little hot for kids.

Now, I know they need water, I know there is a limit to the time out, but you know, the damn kids today spend all their times sucking up the air condition playing fortnight and looking up porn, but I wonder.

I even saw that the PNG Indians football team was starting practice at 5:45AM.

How long before we got to build air condition indoor stadiums for our kids?
