I remember when..............

Lol; you spring chickens. 61 here; outhouses, no indoor plumbing (if you did, it was the hand pump at the kitchen sink) No heat, except for grandmother keeping the wood stove lit all night, so she could cook breakfast at 5 am.

Walk miles, if you wanted to go somewhere. Cokes, 5 cents, cigs 25 cents, gas 25 cents. Need to run up credit at the local store at 8 years old? good for it, as they knew where you lived, lol.

box of 50 .22 shorts; .59. Long rifles .79. School lunch- .25 through 8th grade; .75 in high school. No govt involved. Air pistols, $8; WW2 rifles, $15.
And nobody ever got in trouble for shooting someone else.

1960 VW, $150. Be driving tractors,farming for grandfather, even lent to your uncle for the summer- $350 a year.


I really miss the simple life, food was better ( unless you had to help kill something for lunch or dinner). Of chores, I could grab a gun. and run through the woods for hours. Or jump in the boat, if I had bought gas, and cruise the river.

Kids today, have no clue.
