Winding my wristwatch
in the morning and winding my alarm clock at night.
Telephones
with an operator and pay phones.
Muscle cars, but they were hard to start on cold mornings.

white movies: a dime to get in, a dime for popcorn, and a nickel coke.
The birth of
Rock and Roll music.
Radios with
vacuum tubes.
Household fans.
Water-coolers for cars before air conditioning.
Bopping at the high school hop
Ice boxes and ice delivery – a penny a pound, and ice picks to chip the ice
Nickle soft
drinks in cold water boxes
Black and
white TV with rabbit ears
The Steve Allen Show and The Killer
Changing tires:
a necessary skill

| Flat tires were a normal occurance. |
10c comic
books.
Soda fountains.
Writing in cursive
Straight
Arrow, was my favorite radio show.
And the list
could easily go on…
