    Remember where you were the first time you saw a prepubescent girl swoon at the mere mention of his name...and you hadn't even heard Blue Suede Shoes on the radio yet.....and weren't really all that sure exactly what Blue Suede Shoes was.

    Cigarette machines.

    Yes youngsters, there was a time when anybody (regardless of age) could walk up to a vending machine (located in most work places, gas stations, stores, etc.) insert just 45 cents (pre "sin" tax days) pull a handle attached to a rod and out would come a pack of your favorite smokes.

    How did we ever survive?

    The guy came by and dropped off the yellow page a couple months ago while I was washing the car. He said I was only one of two people in the entire subdivision getting one. That says a lot.

    Adjusting the "rotor" on the rooftop antenna to turn it to get a better picture....
    Had cable most of the time, but that rooftop antenna that could be turned was useful back when the cable outages were a weekly occurance.....
