You forgot 19.9 cents/gallon of gas -- full service. When service really meant something.

When you could leave your house unlocked and everything would still be there when you got home.

When neighbors looked out for each other.

Leisure suits (shudder).....

Computers that used punch cards.....and having access to a computer was a novelty.

When IBM was associated with typewriters....

Motel 6 at $6, with pay TVs just to watch the two or three networks they received.....

The Flintstones at night -- first run...

George of the Jungle (and not the movie)

Who shot JR?

And TVs that had a knob to change channels.

Watching the news broadcast when the local station switched from black and white to color.

And the town was small enough that the weekend news anchors were a married couple that sometimes showed home movies of their kids to fill up the half hour.



I quit counting birthdays at 29!
