. . . you are at risk from coronavirus.

We had a rotary phone when I was a young boy in the early 90s and I know how to use one.

I'm only 29.

I pray daily for all involved in the virus, and understand even though my death is unlikely, I as a person am at duty to limit exposure to all peoples to make sure the virus doesn't spread about.
 
If you carried your rifle on a rack in the back window of your truck.
If you didn't need a CCP or fishing license.
If you had to climb up on the roof to move the TV antenna for your Dad.
If you hung laundry on a clothes line out side.
If your high school taught home economics.
If you had to show ID to vote at the voting station.

You folks paid a quarter to go to the movies?

When I was 10-12, my folks gave us each a quarter, and dropped us off at the theater. That quarter would get us the movie, popcorn or candy, and a soda pop. We would get a cartoon, a serial, and a feature movie.

Of course, this was at the West Ruislip air base in London, the folks would pick us up after their commissary shopping for lunch at the NCO Club. We went to the movies on alternate weeks with Boy Scouts.

If we went to the cinema off base, it cost six-pence, but we did need to stand up while the rest of the patrons sang "God Save the Queen".
 
I remember movies for a quarter and go to the drive in, a buck a car load, we would fit 7 kids in the car and about 6 in the trunk and that left room for a few cases of beer. [emoji1]

Remember?

I Could remember when Coke and Pepsy had some body and actually tasted good.
When a 5 cent Hershey bar was 50% larger than today's $1.50 Hersey bar.
When smoking was good for you.
When the cops all carried Model 10s or Colt OPs.
 
When Grandpa took me to the new drive in for a hamburger and they were only 15 cents.

When my boss said I was the best employee there so he gave me a raise to $1.35 an hour.

My workshop still has a rotary phone - works for pickup but can't dial out.

I took my old classic car to my local motor shop and the kids didn't even know what points are.

I still have several books of green stamps. Don't know why I save them.
