on slippery rocks on the banks of a rushing river
as a child and hitchhiking in college.

I reply that statistically life is much safer now
than in the 1950s, with regard to both crime and accidents.

or the back of a tractor was just part of childhood -
an excuse for gathering autographs.
Today that broken leg would be a source
of outrage and probably lawsuits.
