Our ring was two shorts and a long until the plant screwed up one too many fishing trips and dad had the phone yanked. He also bought our first color TV for the Super Bowl (the first one) but it started smoking during Bugs Bunny on Saturday morning. The appliance store worked on it all night and brought it back an hour before kickoff. The picture has shrunk some but it still works. My Stingray was candy green with a 2 speed coaster brake hub and a hand brake on the front with whitewall tires, slick on the back. Learned you could really kick *** with an Eldon slot car on Strombecker track. Strombeckers were 12V and Eldons were 6V. We found out we were poor when we saw my uncle's house on Walter Cronkite when he was doing a series about poverty in Appalachia. Probably would have been our house if mom hadn't met the film crew at the ditch line with a Model 12 Winchester. We had it rough, but I've got no complaints. We were loved and we survived.
