Dude, RLSH, is closer to a kid than an old person. I'm old by years, but not by maturity, the wife will attest to that.
I think RLSH, was stating from his experience as a kid. I will agree w/ him. My family made a mad capped country tour in two weeks from VA to CA. It was a big circuit dipping down to TX out to LA to South Dakota through Chicago and back.
This was in a Plymouth Horizon and I was in the back @ 6' 1" at the time w/ my sister.
It was rather unenjoyable. A DVD/Television would have been huge.
Kids, don't know how good they got these days...well when I was a kid, we didn't have light!
