    ...if you can write cursive.

    ...if you remember having to get up to change channels, had only 3 channels and were adept at adjusting rabbit ears for a better picture.

    It seems funny to you that when you ask for a cup of coffee, the waitress says "Awesome!" to you ... or "Perfect!"

    Hey, it's just a cup of coffee ...

    When you drop a napkin on the floor, and you have to plan how you're going to lean over to pick it up, and how you're going to straighten back up again.

    Here is one thing that floors me.

    To promote a product, the advertiser hires some you tube blogger named "Dude Perfect" who boards a helicopter, taken up several hundred feet, who tosses a ball through a hoop. And the crowd cheers. How many times did he miss? Think that over as they next switch into a store where he and others toss things around and hit items.

    I swear, where is the good old ad for smokers saying Lucky Strike means fine tobacco?

    Gosh, okay my story

    As a kid, I found out that on radio there were some kid programs on radio. Yup, long before sesame street. See if I can recall them. There was Sgt. Preston of the Yukon. I enjoyed that radio show. There was Amos and Andy. Loved them before I ever heard the term racist.

    I played a year of football and we used PE time for study hall at my high school. But PE was 4 years for most of the students.

    When you cut grass with one of these:

    And trimmed it with these:
    upload_2017-10-7_23-28-56.png

    String trimmers weren't invented and the batteries for the automatic trimmers we finally got, would die before you could get much done. Gasoline mowers? pft Those were for the wealthy. We weren't poor, but that was a good excuse, I suppose. Cutting up hills was tough.

    My mom said she could remember when laundry detergent used to have "prizes" in it for mom like cereal did for the kids. Things like measuring cups, dish towels, wash rags, etc.
