We all did as kids, and stores always had a big display of them for about a dollar.
I can't remember the last time I saw someone flying one..... until today.
Now days, everybody has electric model airplanes or those quad blade drones.
I see them buzzing around all the time.
Today, I actually saw a kid with an old school kite with a tail made out of rags
and on a string flying along above the tree line here.
I haven't seen any for sale lately. I wonder if he made it out of news paper and sticks
like we did after we'd crashed all our 'store bought' ones.
