Legos having little men included is a demarcation line. I now know that you are at least a generation younger than me. I liked Legos as a kid but they were literally little blocks and nothing else. Like the gold and silver colored crayons in a Crayola variety box, I used to search for the clear Legos—those were the precious windows for the houses I built. Yes, I think I basically only built walls and houses.
Now, Erector Sets! THOSE were precious toys. I built factories, bridges, Apollo spacecraft, laser guns, and race cars out of those metal strips, bolts, and nuts.
thank you for using "clo-popping" in this week's post — i'm always reading for something that will make me cluck as seeing that did.
