Your Happy Place

Does anyone remember the Good Old Days?

The days when anything was possible.

When it was safe to walk down most streets in the daylight- some even at night.

When acid rain, global warming, rising ocean levels and superstorms were called theories. Possibilities. Pressing but avoidable future threats.

When gas powered so much and cost only $6 a gallon.

When it could be purchased with money.

Do you remember money?

Do you remember the cities lit up at night, blazing away like beacons of life to welcome travelers from far away?

Burning away, rows upon rows of towering glass and light. Beautiful but devouring.

Does anyone remember these days?

Or am I alone with memories of a happier time?

Memories of a time that brought us to now.
