    “Smart” phones

    There have been 27 or 28 collisions with state police vehicles alone on the side of the road so far this year in this one state. At least 4 troopers killed in said accidents. A substantial number of roadside workers injured or killed the same way. Nearly all of the drivers were distracted by...

    Halloween Pics

    Is this still the rental dog or have the Fading Fasts become a 3 resident household?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I didn't know you could even buy Sealtest anymore. It disappeared here years ago and never returned. It sounds like I have been fortunate to have missed its revival. Too bad. Many childhood memories of eating a dish of Sealtest and making 7up floats with my grandad.

    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    Biltmore Court in Amarillo. Not sure on the year but given the condition of the buildings and the appearance of the photo, I would guess 1970's, maybe early '80s.

    Did you not also have British double summer time during the war? One hour year around and two in summer?

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I think people in general aren't interested in or attached to their family history anymore. Things that great grandma or even their own grandparents made don't appeal to them in the same way. I see it in my own family and in the families of others. I suppose there are many reasons for this, but...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I'm not a dairy farmer, but it seems by what I've been reading lately, the even not so small dairy farmers are becoming extinct. They've lost money for too many years, milk prices paid to the dairyman per hundredweight are not improving and their costs keep rising. We won't understand what we...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    My father used to go to Browns games with his uncle. They both would have rather been at a Cardinals game, but Browns tickets were easily found for free.

    Can a shoe welt be repaired/replaced?

    Yes they can be replaced. Either your cobbler was not interested in doing it, didn't have the skills or equipment to do it, or whatever but a full service cobbler can replace them for you if you want to make the investment.

    BATTER UP!

    His father was a legend in this part of the world. Joe is not and never will be except in his own mind. I'm not sure why he isn't selling insurance or used cars in a small town somewhere.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I go to work in the dark. The ninja walkers/joggers are seen fairly often here. I don't get it either, but I'm sure if either of us hit one they will claim it's not their fault.

    The DINER.

    ^^^ There was one of those in a town just south of here. It survived in daily operation until the early 1980s. The site where it spent its life now holds an abandoned KFC that has been closed for years now.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    The silica beads that come in a thousand different products to absorb moisture are all plainly labelled "do not eat". What would possess someone to take that little white sack out of the box that contained their new laptop and decide to eat it? You know somebody somewhere has done it though.

    Underwear

    I did a bit of searching but didn't come up with any answers. I am looking for better quality mens underwear. I wear plain white boxer briefs which used to be readily available at most any store but are no longer. They must be ordered unless I happen to be in the right spot to stumble onto them...
