I can't imagine anyone who would like to go back to the "Good Old Days" of no electricity, out-houses, carrying water and wollen underwear, still some of the old values and memories linger.
I remember when:
A double-dip was 10 cents
Doctors made house calls
Children could go to the movies
Mercury was in our thermometers and not our fish
Coke was Cola
Nobody had AIDS
Comedians like Gleason, Skeleton, Hope, Fields, Abbot and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Keaton, Ceaser, Silvers, Berle, Benny, Ball Burns and Allen, Chaplin, didn't have to the "F" word to get a laugh
Roy Rogers was my hero
A 100 mile motor car trip was a major event
We drank water from the pump
We drank water from the stream
A joint was a bad place
Teachers used switches and nobody sassed
The family played parlor games after dinner
Sports figures were role models
A pump handle or sled runner in January was always faster than my tongue
Snow was either white or yellow and we NEVER ate yellow snow
The banker knew my name
Men would stand when a lady entered the room
Japan made cheap stuff
We didn't know about such things as toxic waste, ozone layer, red dye no. 2, cholesterol, fluorocarbons, television, TCE. PBC,
Gabriel Heater read the radio news
The Dodgers were in Brooklyn
Automobiles were designed by artists, not accountants and wind tunnels
Good guys won
A DJ from KDAL radio in Duluth said Elvis couldn't sing and he wouldn't last
It was alright to give candy to children
Yes, I do remember
