You would not believe how much of a pain it was to find a picture 
of a few kids riding bikes with no helmets. I can't recommend it, 
but I dont think I ever owned a bike helmet until I was an adult.
Not a single one of my friends or family ever got a head injury 
from riding a bike. I am absolutely sure it has happened, just not 
to me or anyone I've ever known.

There are the things in our past that we may wish we hadn't done.
When I was much younger, back when kids were allowed out of 
their back yard, unsupervised, without CPS showing up to haul off 
all the children to a forced drugging camp to be abused.

In those times we were allowed to ride our bikes, miles from home,
without helmets and without hands on the handle bars, all ready
to get up to all kinds of nefarious activities. We might ride down to 
the lake and go fishing for catfish with bubblegum on a hook. We 
would sometimes go down to the mud beach on Tampa Bay, and 
dig fiddler crabs out of their holes and chase them around.

Sometimes, when we were feeling particularly inclined to havoc, we 
would go down to the one store left in the local dying mall, and get 
the best candy bar that the, somewhat questionable candy 
companies ever made. The processed simulacrum of ambrosia to 
which I refer is the Nestle' made, Australian candy bar that is called 
'Violet Crumble'. Violet Crumble is, quite frankly, the only candy bar 
that anyone ever needs to eat. The only reason for the existence of 
other candy bars is in case you can't find a Violet Crumble.

There are other, similar candies. There is the spun molasses, malted 
milk, or a meringue. I may have even had some divinity that caused 
me to wish I was eating a Crumble. I know they're mostly honey, 
and whatever Nestle' calls chocolate. If I ate two of them today my 
pancreas would very likely fall out, but at the time it was up to the 
job. I used to get them for a dollar apiece, and now, if I still ate such 
things, I'd need four dollars for one and only at a World Market. The 
closest thing I eat to it today is freeze dried mangoes.
