    I remember paying for gas with a check. At an ARCO. Try that these days. It was at an ARCO in Tacoma, WA back in about 1990 or so.

    Told somebody late last year that I was going to turn 48 in November. She said, "48! That's almost 50!"

    I guess I am older than dirt.

    Outhouses were the bomb when I was a kid (no pun intended). It's where we could always find Grandpa when he was missing.

    Outdoor hand powered water pumps.


    At my uncles house in the Poconos he had an out house. All us kids also had to go out in the morning and use the hand powered water pump to get water for brushing our teeth and water so our parents could make coffee.

    Your Older Than Dirt If

    You can remember gas wars when gas could get down to $0.12c a gal and all ciggeretts were non-filter and were $0.25c a pack.

    My friend had a Pacer which always reminded me of a Javelin that someone put an air hose in the exhaust pipe and blew it up like a balloon.
