Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

not quite that, but…

“Cherokee Purples” by American Aquarium

The kids on Mama's side
In the back yard running wild as kudzu vines
If y'all get burnt, break off some aloe; if y'all get stung, rub in some tobacco
If yall get hot or thirsty, you know where the hose is
Fireflies, june bugs, cicadas
