I have a very fond memory of my grandmother in the late 60’s and early 1970’s taking us to the playground near her house and they had one of these metal slides. We always took a roll of wax paper to tear off a piece and sit on the first few times down. After that, you could fly down this thing. Great times!!! I miss her.
So, you were not only protecting yourself from the heat, but also waxing the slide? Holy shit dude. That’s genius… and if your slides were anything close to the 7-8 ft death traps near where I lived, then it was also completely fucking insane. I never even met your grandma and now I miss her too, she must have been hell on wheels in her youth.

Wow, I never really thought about the protection from the heat thing. I just thought it was so we could slide faster!
