My Twentieth Century Hobby Was Nicer

My twenty-first century hobby seems to be posting complaint comments online. I do it because it is an outlet for my objections to the sorry state of this, that, and the other in the world today; and because there is the off-chance that someone in power might see my complaint and be moved to do something about it. Hopefully not to come after me.

In the twentieth century I had many much more pleasant hobbies. For example, I made Artist Trading Cards and I exchanged them with women throughout the world. It was a relaxing pastime, with a thrill when a new package of cards arrived for me in the mail. I traded Artist Trading Cards with women in many states in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Australia, Argentina, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, and Japan. What fun I have had in my life!
