I remember when it was .17 cents a gallon......
Dairy Queen ice cream was .05 cents
Someone pumped your gas for you and cleaned the windshield.
Kids wore their under wear on the inside of their cloths.
You could buy honest to god silk stockings.
The Sunday news was .50 cents
Ed Sullivan and PBS were the highlight of the week.
You could leave your front door unlocked.
When color t.v. first came out.

When I was a kid, I either walked or rode my bike to deliver the morning paper before 6:00am. Nowadays an old fat fart in a minivan delivers my paper by 6:30 on a good day. My morning coffee & cereal is always accompanied by yesterday's paper.

It will be complete when those outfits are worn by a couple of nympho sluts with the come hither look, vibrators who are twin sisters.
