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

Dean Martin Celebrity Roast
Wonderama with Bob McAllister
Lost In Space
Riding on the package tray in pop's 68 Oldsmobile
Schwinn "Krate Bikes" with the 5-speed shifter
soda & beer cans with pull-off tabs, or before that, you had to use a can opener
parents whistling in the backyard for their kids to come home for dinner at 5PM
having to fill the ice cube tray if you wanted ice with dinner that night
The Barney Miller Show
Every car you saw (driving or parked) was American made with very few exceptions
nightly visit all summer long by the Ice Cream Man
playing football/kickball/whiffle ball in the street in front of the house all summer long
weekend trips to the dragstrip with older brother and friends
speed shops
leaded gas
burning leaves/sticks in a 55 gallon drum
having the freedoms that the government has taken away since those days

Glad I was a kid in those days. I wish my kids could see how much fun life was before "they" started regulating every GD thing in your life.
