What did you plink with the Wrist-Rocket slingshot? #TBT
Posted By RichC on September 26, 2024
Once again, a social media “what is it” post (on X.com) intrigued me enough to comment on the glass insulators that were used on phone lines for years … especially along 
the railroad tracks when I was a kid.
The antique photo triggered a Throwback Thursday #TBT memory of hanging out in an area behind our house that I’m sure we were not supposed to be. Part of the time we did nothing, but walk and talk … while other times we acted like hoodlums and both threw stones and shot slingshots at the glass insulators on top of the telephone poles (boys will be boys). Thankfully we were smarter than to be smoking, drinking or doing drugs. After admitting the previous “sling shot” behavior, it might be hard to believe, but we were “still pretty good kids.”
