    Remember getting a haircut, outdoors, sitting on a wooden crate in Korea after the truce was signed in 1953. The barber was a Korean civilian, using squeeze clippers (there was no electricity) and he charged 10 cents. Have had many haircuts since then and paid much more, but none more memorable. There's a lot less to cut nowadays.

    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.
