My not so wild adventures

I know guys this is a long one but I promise U U'll enjoy it.

Even with all the noise going on around me as I'm on the highway thumbing across the cities I lived in as a youngster i relive in memory the days of my youth when for absent parenting I was aloud to roam all over. When it was those years it was I was not really in danger and that doesn't mean I took chances plus God was with me. It's so strange that when I should have been kept at home I was on bicycle all over every city I lived in even as early as 4th grade. I wouldn't recommend that form of parenting however because of God's presence I knew that for reasons unknown to me that's the way it was supposed to be. I've always been a dreamer and a ponderer. There's such a precious specialness that can't be explained unless you've been through it yourself. The one thing that helped me is that in maturity I was 5yrs ahead of others my age. As I went on these adventures even though I already had a closeness to life and emotions and Ora's they enhanced my experiences and my relationship to living. When this all started it was in Burbank CA and I often times ran into stars. There was this one time I was on my bike and I was really thirsty and I was passing a Bar. I went into the Bar and sitting close to the door on stools was some cast members of Andy Griffith's show. We said hi to each other and I got the Bartenders attention and asked for some water. No one said anything about me being a minor gave me the water I drank it and said bye to everyone they all responded in kind and out the door on my way I was. In 4th grade my mom enrolled myself and 4yrs younger than me twin brothers in Northridge Military Academy. Mom drove us every morning M-F and some other boys to the Academy. Next to Burbank was a wealthy community named Riverside. A Greek family lived in one of those houses. His name was Jimmy Lambo. He became a good friend. Next to his house lived Ron Howard's cousin Clint Howard. Ron was over there quite a bit so we got to see them frequently.  I would continue this sort of Freedom into Tucson AZ where we moved to next. Being this is a long post I'll leave it there however I do have a ton more adventures I'd like to share some day. I hope U'all enjoyed this post.
