Somehow I knew you were going to come up with the explanation of Creosote. Believe me, we only used old Cedar poles that weren't treated.
Anyway, I'm not looking for an argument here, just missing the simple things we used to enjoy. I see you understand about the wood vs. the plastic gyms. By the way, there is a swing set in my back yard that was handed down to me when I was a kid. It is made of iron pipe and is now being used to support a lawn swing.
I think the children are missing some of the imagination we had, too many electronic toys today.
oh, and one thing you mentioned was go-carts. I don't think of them as toys, they are motorized vehicles that require a lot of responsibility by the manufacturer, the purchaser, and the end user.
