We don’t need no Thought Control… One of Bag’s more vivid mid-1970s childhood memories was periodically “going to work” for the day with Dad (who was a CPA). We took the “L” train downtown to Lasalle Street station in Chicago, where it was maybe a 5-minute walk to his office. Right by the station exit, there was a bank of payphones, which Pops occasionally needed to use. “Stay close by,” he would say. As he climbed into the booth one day, Bag noticed a crowd gathering just outside the exit. So Bag wandered over to see the attraction, and as it turns out, a three-card Monte game was going on. Now Bag was maybe ten years old, without a dime to his name, so he was never in danger of losing any money. But that didn’t stop him from guessing which card was the Queen.
Great thoughts especially for a younger person Right now we need to be sure and question everything .... So many adults see and believe everything they are told!. So much deception. So glad my parents taught us critical thinking.
I enjoy your writing style, interesting, literate and easy.
