Well. I grew up in Kenny Lake. People from Alaska can tell you about the place. A bit different from what you folks might consider normal. We would have shoot outs at the public water well between different lone wolf survivalists. They had us clean up the blood as a school project. Our closest neighbor was a serial killer named Charles T. Sinclair. He was known as the coin shop killer. My first job was for Bob Galletin who had two wifes and a pile of kids from both women. He was the editor of the local paper. One day they got tired of him and moved out and left him with the kids. We used to visit Jim Ryan who lived in the only trailer court up there in a place called Krinkeville. He was a mafia hitman turned states evidence and placed in the witness protection program. You sir, win the thread.

Had a friend whose dad was a deputy sheriff and the jailer. He lived in the courthouse in a pretty nice apartment by the jail. When we'd spend the night at his place, if no prisoners were there, we'd sleep in the jail cells sometimes. We thought it was great fun until his dad locked us in all night... It lost it's allure after that. LOL Put my grandson in jail.. He bad... ...And my daughter in the San Elizario, TX jail, built in 1850. Housed William Bonney and Billy the Kid, who was the only man to escape from the jail.

I knew a kid that slept in a dresser drawer for his first 7 years.
They fashioned him a box at the foot of the bed after he outgrew the drawer.

My wife's aunt slept in a dresser drawer when she was a baby. Her parents couldn't afford one of those baby beds for little babies.

Getting my first bicycle was a huge deal, bought from a neighbor. Shortly thereafter I got run over by a bloke on a Vespa scooter when I pulled out in front of him. Scalp wound, bled like a stuck pig. Must have been about 1966, got stitches. My folks took the bicycle away for a whole year, then I had to take a bicycle safety course.
I think now the whole thing happened because they drive on the wrong side of the road over there 🙂

Not me, but I got 2 friends that grew up living at 'B Line' (I think that's what they called it)
That's the housing at Angola Prison.

Growing up in one of many dry (no alcohol sold) counties in Tx. Had to drive 30-40 miles one way for cold beer, or use the boot-leggers.

I went to a bootlegger up in Eastern KY back in the early 90s that had stolen a Ronald McDonald statue from a McDonalds somewhere, and had rigged a microphone and speaker up beside it. You pulled up to Ronald, placed your order, then drove around to a window he had cut in the back of the trailer to pick your booze up. That guy had style. Lol

My drunken grandfather gave my grandmother another beating while she was pregnant. She walked to the hospital and my father was born prematurely.. Grandmother walked home with dad in a shoe box. He was kept in a drawer for a good while as well. Reservation life. Osky

I was born on a farm, 10 feet below sea level, that was the bottom of the sea 20 years earlier.

I grew up in a well to do suburb north of Milwaukee , only hitch was we lived in a 1920 river cabin, two rooms, no indoor plumbing or running water, All the local kids loved to come to our house as my parents were really nice and it was a fun place to hang out.
My wife grew up in CO with out even electricity or a well, water was hauled to the house and stored in a cistern. Her school didn't have plumbing and the older boys in class had to escort the little one to the out-house to kill any rattle snakes that might be there.
Neither one of us would have changed our lives.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I grew up in a country called America. Quite a bit different than this one.

I grew up on an Indian reservation between Tucson and Ajo. Only about five white kids in the whole school. Stood out like a diamond in a goat's ass! Kindergarten was to teach the Indian kids to speak English. I already knew how so they moved me into first grade after the first week.
