When you could trust the media...

If you learned to drive a "stick" in your Dad's truck in a cornfield.

If you remember when you could go to the Saturday movies, buy popcorn, two cokes and some Ju-Ju fruits with a $5 bill and still have change.

If you remember "Ethyl" gasoline. For the godawful price of forty cents a gallon.



If you rememember crowding around the radio for "The Lone Ranger."



My Best,

When you stop wondering who might be your "Rich Uncle" because you realize that YOU are the "rich uncle."

I know I'm getting old when I'm the only one who can remember taking the TV's vacuum tubes to the local hardware store for testing. The store had the testing machine in clear view and was free--as a marketing perk.

I know I'm getting old when I can remember things from 50+ years ago--but not what I ate for dinner just two nights ago.

You know you are old when you remember fixing all those car radios with just a vibrator,OZ4 tube,and a .01 condenser, or all those old table radios with just a 6AU6 tube. Oh yes, the .01 is now a capacitor.

[Mackaydon]

Yes, Scott, that's the one. And look at those toggle switches !! Almost makes my eyes go misty with nostalgia.

When you brush your teeth by holding them in one hand and the brush in the other.....

My Best,
Scott


(Well? That's funny if ya just think about it fer a minute......)

 

[AU24K]

For me....

When you become a kid again by making a kite and flying it.
When you make a butterfly net to chase clouded sulfurs across an open field.
When you find the perfect "skipping" rock to try to best your record. How many skips IS your record?
When the sounds of cicadas buzzing in the treetops and the smell of burning leaves tells of the summer coming to an end.
When you remember what the Holidays REALLY mean.

My Best Wishes,
Scott
