Now I remember why I did not record anything until a long time after getting our first VHS player.
Remember air shocks? Had to have them with those big tires. I liked the look of those jacked up cars. But I never was a fan of the low rider look.
I remember on some old show a couple talking about taking a long ride, and commenting how that's about all they had the money for back then. Now that's expensive too. I used to love just driving around on a nice day or evening. Now one might choose to sit on the porch at night and watch cars drive by, at least the sounds of nature and the view of the stars and sky is still free.
This tire talk has me thinking about my childhood tonight I remember going to the grocery store with my parents there would be this Brachs candy display. Had little compartments separated by glass for the various pieces of single candies. You picked what you wanted, placed it in the bag they provided, weighed it to see what your price would be. Welllllllllllllllllllllllll
My gma always had a glass candy dish at her house we could get one piece of hard candy. This metal & glass candy display was much bigger than grammie's dish so I started picking out candy for my sibs, my parents, my grands and of course me. On the way home my mother asks "what is that paper rattling back there looks at me with chipmunk cheeks. I had stuffed my pockets full I didn't know you had to pay for them.
I can picture that Jaxson!
There is still a store locally that sells candy by weight; they have tall plexiglass canisters probably thirty inches high or better and they take up a corner of the store. Very pretty all on display like that.

Thus started & ended my criminal career at the tender age of 4 or 5.
I was reading about Dagny Strait celebrating her 104th birthday. She sure doesn't look that old. She's lived in Pharr, Texas since 1955. She loves bingo and Dr Pepper.
She credits her long life to Hershey's Kisses and a loving family! The keys to a long and happy life right there.

When VHS videos became really the new big thing, the cost to buy a VHS movie was very expensive. We had our own VHS machine, and what we would do is rent a machine and a few movies we wanted to own.

Oh let's not forget those external VHS tape rewinders too .
