Probably would have just found out the the wife was pregnant with our first born, that turned out to be twins but we didn't find that out till 3 days before they arrived. Pre ultrasound days.

Back then you could walk down the middle of the road on a Sunday no problem even though it was an inner-city suburb in our biggest city.

And at 6 years of age i had one of those dragster push bikes with the gear change between your legs.

I just spent a month in apartment in Glebe, $1150 a week and we were surrounded by streets full of junkies.
Would not want to walk down the middle of the street now as the traffic is crazy and they all want to run over pedestrians.

Forty years ago, I would`ve been living in a town called Three Springs, WA. Had fun back then.

I was living in Geneva, Switzerland with my Swiss wife and 3 year old son.
April would have been Spring time and I was probably working on my '69 VW combi to fit it out as a campervan.
We did 50k kms with it around Europe. Even drove it to the northern most point of Scotland.. 3 weeks with the wipers on, won't ever do that again

Ask this question in 40 years... There will be answers of "I was in my bedroom playing Minecraft on my iPad" etc.
