If it's any consolation, my Dad was 11 when the stock market crashed, and he mostly had fond memories of childhood during the Depression. Kids ARE resilient, and on the plus side, they're not working 12 hours a day in a mill!
My biggest issue now is what kind of country and world they're going to be living in as adults.

My dad was six at the crash. His only scar, that I am aware of, was his refusal to eat cabbage ever again.

It's high summer here - right now, it's about 58 degrees with 10-20 mph winds from the West and everything's getting crunchy underfoot, getting ready for fall, when it will be 90-100 and on fire.

My dad loved cabbage in all kinds of dishes. My mother made it for him quite often. Stuffed cabbage rolls, cole slaw, and all manner of German dishes. I love it too. Mrs. John uses it in a stir fry and it's yummy.

Must be time to service the winter commuter. Or at least pump up the tyres. It felt like trying to ride through treacle this morning.

Your winter is our October, probably.
My grandmother made stuffed cabbage rolls back in the day (Eastern European). I opened a new can of sauerkraut this evening. It was good.

I haven't had sauerkraut in a while. Nor cabbage. I prefer Brussel Sprouts.

We don't really have winter. Sometimes it rains and a cold day here would be in the mid 50s. It's hot a lot of the year and sometimes it's beautiful. Where I live is about 25 miles from downtown LA over a small mountain range, so no coastal cooling influence like LA gets. It can be over 100 for weeks on end. A few years ago it was 115 and our a/c quit working. I've been on rides when it's been over 110.

My grandmother used to make sauerkraut in a large crock in her basement.
The memory of which has rendered the canned stuff inedible, some of the jarred stuff is marginally "ok".

Got to be at the mechanic by 8 so I can possibly get a same-day inspection.

My wife’s been making sauerkraut lately. And kimchi. I’m not into either one. She and an organic farmer friend are preparing an instructional slide show for some upcoming event.
