Good morning Member

Pull up a chair, GrayViners! I was thinking this morning how grateful I am to have grown up in a time when “be home before dark” was the only rule we needed. We rode our bikes until the street lights flickered on, played tag until our knees were grass-stained, and drank from the garden hose without a second thought.

These days, it seems like so many kids are growing up with screens in their hands instead of dirt under their fingernails. And while times change, those simple outdoor memories still feel mighty special.

That brings us to today’s icebreaker: What will kids today never get to experience? Was it Saturday morning cartoons you had to wake up early for? Waiting all week for your favorite show? Writing letters instead of texts? Tell us what comes to mind. Your memories might spark someone else’s smile today.

And speaking of smiles, we’ve lined up a wonderful mix of stories for you this morning: Possible Social Security adjustments, returning Costco favorites, an Amazon safety product recall, and more!
