Right Bill;
I'm so doggone old;
1) I walked 2 miles each way to a one room country school. Contrary to popular opinion though, only one way was up hill !
In case anyone is wondering..the other way was DOWN hill..but if you have to ask that, you're older than I am..
2) My first razor was double edged "blueblades"..
3) I can remember when crackerjacks had metal prizes.
4) I can remember when I heard radio commercials claim that " Lucky strike green has gone to war" !
No; I didn't think.."Hooray, my big brother can come home now !"
5) I can remember when Dad used to resole our shoes.
6) I can remember when we bought and sold eggs, milk, chicken & beef from our home farms..
(and I never heard of anybody getting sick from salmonella)
7) My first car had whitewalls 3" wide....well they weren't REAL whitewalls, they were white rubber rings,
that were mounted just inside the rim..looked snazzy though..
I can remember as a youngster, Peters .22s @ 50 cents a box..not that I bought all that many though...
9) My first car had a manual transmission, crank windows and was a hoot to drive..My 2007 Toyota is the same.
10) During my first hitch with the Army, I shouldered an M1 and ate left over WW2 C-rations when in the field.
...Now Guys, I'll tell you a story Bill DIDN'T tell you;
Here in the little hamlet where I live, our store has a side dining room where the owner Mike and his wife..serve
coffee & doughnuts along with breakfasts in the morning, and sandwiches, subs & pizzas etc the rest of the day.
When Bill stopped by, we both went up there for breakfast.
We both ordered eggs, toast, bacon & homefries..Then we went into the side dining room, poured ourselves a cup of joe
and started started sipping, while Edna started the breakfast on the grill..
It was only a couple minutes before Edna came tripping into the dining room and said;
"Hey fellas, I have your breakfasts ready..would you like me to run them through the blender before I bring them in ?"
Gotcha Bill !!
