I remember right after getting my driver's license, collecting coins from the friends to fill the tank. We filled up with quarters, dimes and nickels.

The first tv we had in our house was a console. Had a console stereo too. Big pieces of furniture!

Oh, reading about playing outside after dark, jacks, jumpropes, brings back great memories. We used to play ball (all kinds) in the street. If, and when, cars ever drove down the street, they went slowly looking for kids playing.

This does not make me feel old, it makes me feel lucky.
