How did we all survive childhood? Everyone drank from creeks and garden hoses.
Our parents and their siblings used to tell stories of how when they swam in the river here when they were kids, they had to push the turds out of the way back in the 1930's/40s. Turd Herding or Log Wrangling I guess you could call it.
they also used lead paint back then also. how did that work out?

Must have worked out decent taking into account that most lived into their late 80's, and some into their 90's. Maybe without the lead paint and turd herding they may have lived into their 120's?
They did not have to repaint as much either, because that lead paint really held up to the weather well.
