Absolutely nuts! Why, when I was a kid we ranged through the city, adjacent forests, rivers, lakes, streams, and over peoples' fences without provocation from anyone except other roving gangs of boys (upon whose detection a dirt-clod battle was likely to ensue). We caught large snakes and brought 'em home as "pets" (always rejected). We were unstoppable in our curiosity about what lay over the next 500 yards. Aaaaargh! Get offa my lawn!
