My father was so cheap, he would actually buy Scots from time to time.

I gotta go get me some more of this....I have a few pairs of western boots that are really snug on the instep. The only way I can get them on is with boot hooks and good ol' baby powder.

Is this expected to be much of a blow to the local economy?
Mercury outboard motor
In a word, emissions. The relative simplicity of the two-stroke engine meant there was less to tinker with (i.e. modify) in order to meet new standards for exhaust emissions. Manufacturers who couldn't sort it out chose to stop manufacturing the engines. Or so I've read.Two stroke motorcycles. Where have all the ring dings gone? Probably meeting the same fate as my Mercury outboard motor - sitting in a corner of the garage.
A few years back, my wife and I were down in horse country on a trail ride with about 10 or 15 other riders. Crossing a road in front of us was a horse pulling a buggy. Everyone one of those horses got concerned by the sight. No one bolted, but some including mine were hard to hold.Regarding dogs and sirens, is it possibly like horses and automobiles? They're now so common that the later generations of animals don't even take note, whereas in the pre-WWI era, horses bolting at the sight and sound of automobiles was reportedly commonplace.
my local grocery store had stock so I have stocked up....can't have too much baby powder in the midst of a pandemic!
Ha! I rode a 1 cylinder Yamaha 360 enduro many years ago. Ring ding writ large. It would also backfire and run backwards if lugged down too far making hill climbs a sporting affair indeed.Two stroke motorcycles.

We have a GPS but my wife the navigator still uses the Rand McNally map book on her lap in the RV plotting our route. We were in a small town in Oregon last year. We left our RV at the repair shop on the outskirts of town for the morning to be look at....we had to call to see if it was ready but could not get my cel to work. We walked about looking for a phone booth. Walked into the garage and asked the young fellow if he knew the whereabouts of a pay phone. He gave us a strange look and it dawned on me...this teenage boy did not know what the hell we were talking about.Public phones/phone booths, windows in cars you have to roll down, restaurant smoking section, phone landline, manners/etiquette, common sense, home economics class, cursive, old fashioned shoe store, reading from books, children going outside to play, using a paper map, Oldsmobile, walkie talkies, laundry chutes, laundry mat, calling a person on the phone just to say hello, writing a letter. I could probably think of more.
