    Old gas stations

    I had one of those many moons ago. Don't know what happened to it but I don't think it would fit 50 years later. :(

    Out Your Back Door

    Oh goodness gracious. That's gotta be sore as the devil. Poor girl.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I have on a rare occasion told someone to have the day they deserve. Always with a normal tone of voice. You can see the wheels turning, but they are not quite sure if you just wished them well or told them to get bent.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Carbon is used to adsorb other generally undesirable things and odors. It works very well in industry and water treatment. At the percentage of carbon content and contact time in shower gel, toothpaste, etc. and the claims made of "toxins" being absorbed, my scam-o-meter is buzzing. It won't...

    Old gas stations

    That backwards lean-to would have made a sporting proposition of getting in or out the door in a rain storm.

    The Shortwave Radio Thread.

    I miss listening to shortwave broadcasts. I may have to come up with another receiver if there are things available again besides screaming preachers.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We started watching last winter but with warm weather we quit. It was entertaining and I'm sure we will return to it in the fall.

    Some words on men's nightshirts.

    Can you get it with a nightcap?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Like most people, I am not completely immune from the occasional bit of retail foolishness, but the attraction to acquiring more new stuff doesn't really appeal to me anymore, though I do not care at all what others choose to do with their money. I have observed that there are a few people who...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I have heard that term revived lately in this country. It now refers to people gathering, legally or not, to smoke cannabis.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    As an aside to the private club discussion, a city where I used to work had at least two private unlicensed clubs that were only for people of their own ethnic group. One only allowed membership if you were black, the other was only for people from Mexico and their descendants. As far as I know...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I remember when Archie Bunker's neighbor sold his house to the Jeffersons, he assured Archie that they were good people because they were Baptists before beating a hasty retreat out of the neighborhood.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    The Current War. Edison, Westinghouse, Tesla.

    As much of a pain and as inefficient as DC current transmission would have been in urban areas, rural electrification would not have happened without AC.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    The very fact that Arte Johnson was 90 and that more and more of his generation are leaving us only reinforces the unpleasant realization that I too have less days in front of me than behind me. Where have the years gone?
