Probably better next week as year draws down, but w/ busy week ahead postin some of this Capt's personal memories:

1sts seen:

Transistor radios
Color TV
Remotes
Hula hoop
Air conditioning
Cordless phones
Computers
Studded tires
Seat belts
Spinning reels (legal post)
Man on the moon
Sat. theater matinees
Jet planes
Satellites
Tricycles

And then day to day stuff as a kid:

Milkman had a horse
Milkman brought milk to the door
TV news only at 11:00 PM
The Paper Rags Man w/ horse
Ice for refrigeration
Pink snow (near steel mills)
Hopscotch
Roller skating on sidewalks
Buckeye wars
Goin to the chicken house
Goin to the slaughter house
Penny candy
Collectin bottles for deposits (1-2 cents)
Scooters
10 cent comic books
Collectin bottle caps for Green Stamps
Cap guns
Street cars on rails
Dr.'s makin house calls
Crystal radios.
Reel lawnmowers
Catchin fireflys
Phone = a party line.
5 and 10 store
Day camp
Buildin forts

Kids today have no idea re: those things. Instead its everything "smart." Makin them dumb.

Everyone afraid of "polar vortex and climate change". What we used to call winter and summer. You must be "politically correct" according to a minority. History books have been changed to denigrate all our country stands for.

Ok...Off the box.

Hey, feel free to add your memories...beats lookin out the window durin the now begun winter doldrums.
