@@fritzkabeano1969 I hate to tell this to you, but we have always had old people deriding the younger generations for what they don't understand themselves. You can watch others enjoy something you don't and still love them as people.

[@fritzkabeano1969]

@@Zuflux I think you missed my point/what I was trying to say. Go visit Yellowstone in the summer and see how much you enjoy it.
