Re: Back in my day...
In my earliest days
I arrived here from WEST Germany taking an intercontinental flight that was propeller driven... stopping 6 times between Frankfurt and Chicago
Gasoline was cheap enough that $2.00 worth could last the weekend...
On Sundays most stores were closed... (in Germany stores were closed from Noon on Saturday until Monday morning...)
Televisions were black and white...
We ate most of our meals at home and I walked home for lunch every day from Elementary school.
We had one car.
Telephones were dialed on a dial and we had a party line.
Telephone numbers started with letters not numbers...
At school we did atomic bomb drills
Television stations "signed off" at night... usually around midnight.
Interstates were new and exciting.... and often not completed...
yes I know... people ask me whether it was really sad when all the dinosaurs died...
