    Recent conversation covered 8-track tapes, Blue Laws, and going to the county line for booze. (Dry counties don't sell alcohol. Wet counties do. Somehow, not allowing selling meant your county was more moral or something.)
    And a parent slipping a bus load of 14 and 15 year olds a bottle of bourbon at band competition.

    At some point one of the other of us must have said something about getting off lawns.

    And I'm the "baby" at almost 49 in the convo.

    And don't forget 4 tracks and reel to reel. A Vietnam Vet had a reel to reel in my dorm, way back. The best systems you could get back then.

    i remember when you paid your service provider to connect to the net, and everything else on it was free, both in the economic sense and the political one.
    now we can connect for free in many places, and instead the web has been virtually taken over by people wanting money for everything.

    of course i also remember before there was an internet at all.

    i still think my best memories were when building codes were only in cities,
    and there were enough trains and buses you didn't have to have a car to live in small towns.

    it wasn't liberals nor conservatives that screwed that up, as much as the tug of war between them.

    i even remember when both valued the dignity of acting civilized.

    i mean, whatever they did to each other in back alleys, they always had something clean to wear in public.

    or it seemed that way on the six o'clock news.

    then again i was living in small towns, so that was mostly all i saw of it.

    being able to go for a walk in the woods without someone trying to tell you it was their lawn.

    and without it having to be a national or state something or other for them not to.

    Every site had a hit counter at the bottom.

    ...and I was going down the road tonight looking for the dimmer switch with my left foot.

    I remember when i was a young kid and from the moment we got home from school, or from the moment we woke up on the weekends, we would be outside playing, riding bikes, playing games that consisted of running around, or kicking a ball, or just whatever we could do for fun. the neighborhoods would be swarming with children outside having fun. never went home til the street lights came on, or youd hear your mothers voice echoing throughout the universe calling your name to come home! I barely see children playing outside at all anymore...thats definetely something that makes me feel old. we knew how to play and have fun, actively...kids these days sadly do not
