As I type this, I'm watching a few episodes of the Brady Bunch.

But that is how it really was.Southern California, 1962. Not as it really was but as it was portrayed in TV, movies, magazines, and surf music...
The Joker wasn't a hippie, he was just "fashion challenged."

...and averse to work.
Maynard was dealt with.I forgot to mention averse to soap too.

Because he didn't work, he was shipped to a desert island, via a 3 hour tour.
In thinking about this thread today, and viewing several early 60's movies, I realized that people still took care of themselves and their property back then. Today? I can look around my neighborhood and see some people's parents failed to instill this virtue in them.
Of course if people were responsible like I just said, I'd be out of a job. My agency is responsible for "reminding" people how to keep up their property, or properly build things in a manner they should know (if they call themselves a contractor). I guess it's a good thing society has slacked a bit. I have years worth of work because of it.
IMHO somewhere around the late 70s' (from my memory but I was really young then) society started getting away from responsibility for their own self and items (property, cars, clothes, job, etc).
Even though I like the 70's, towards the end of it I'd have to request a transfer to the early 60's, if I'm allowed to do that.
Bummer...man.No. You have to stay in the 70s with the hippies.
Bummer...man.
As long as I don't have to fondue anything.
We did that when I was a kid, almost caught the card table on fire, and caused my puppy (she was 12wks old) to go under the couch for safety.
BTW do they make Tuffskins in adult sizes? Oh wait, those are called Carhart.
I wore those!Tuffskins?! Oh geez, I remember those.....:doh:
I wore those!
Which is why I'm familiar with them.
An era that had shag carpet, bean bags, The Brady Bunch, Lincoln Mark III, and Queen at their peak is still dear to me.
I know bellbottoms, paisleys, wide ties, the gas crisis, and the Gremlin are down sides to it.
Especially the Gremlin.
But each decade has their mistakes.
Ah, the Lincoln Mark III. The seventies, cosmetically, not mechanically was the ultimate in luxury for automobiles. The peak of the Brougham era.
